A server administrator wants to upgrade the memory of the server using two memory modules.
The server has two banks of memory with the following slots available: A2, A3, A4, B2, B3, and B4
In which of the following two slots should the administrator install the additional RAM?

A. B. C. D.B.
To determine which two memory slots the server administrator should use for installing the additional RAM, we need to consider the memory architecture of the server.
Memory modules are typically installed in pairs, with each pair occupying a bank of memory. The server in question has two banks of memory, which means that any memory modules installed must be installed in pairs.
The available memory slots are: A2, A3, A4, B2, B3, and B4. When installing memory modules, they should be installed in slots that are of the same color and in numerical order, starting from the lowest number.
Based on this, the administrator should install the additional RAM in slots A2 and B2. These slots are both in bank 0 (the first bank), and they are the first two slots in numerical order. This means that they are the optimal slots for installing a pair of memory modules.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Slots A2 and B2 should be used to install the additional RAM.
