Which two statements about PCIe are true? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer(s)
A. The PCIe link is built around dedicated unidirectional couples of serial, point-to-point connections known as lanes.
E. A link that is composed of four lanes is called an x4 link.
Explanation
The first statement is true because the PCIe link is indeed built around dedicated unidirectional couples of serial, point-to-point connections known as lanes. Each lane is capable of transmitting data in one direction at a time.
The fifth statement is also true because a link that is composed of four lanes is called an x4 link. This means that the link has a total of four lanes, allowing for higher bandwidth and faster data transfer compared to links with fewer lanes.

Which three troubleshooting procedures do you perform when there is no power to a Cisco
UCS B250 M2 Blade Server? (Choose three.)
Correct Answer(s)
B. Check the back of the blade to ensure that there is no damage to the connection that goes into chassis.
E. Reseat the blade in the same slot in the chassis.
F. Move the blade to another slot in the chassis.
Explanation
The correct answer includes the following troubleshooting procedures:
1. Check the back of the blade to ensure that there is no damage to the connection that goes into chassis. This is important because any damage to the connection can prevent power from reaching the server.
2. Reseat the blade in the same slot in the chassis. Sometimes, the blade may not be properly seated in the chassis, causing a power issue. Reseating it can help establish a proper connection.
3. Move the blade to another slot in the chassis. If the issue persists after reseating the blade, moving it to another slot can help determine if the problem is specific to the slot or the blade itself.
