An administrator notices a server is offline.

The error message "Configuring Memory..." and the fact that the server is stuck at this point strongly suggest thata DIMM (memory module) has failed. Memory issues are commonly diagnosed when servers hang during the memory configuration phase of boot.

DIMM failure (Answer A):When a memory module fails, the server can get stuck at the memory initialization process during boot.

VRAM insufficiency (Option B):VRAM (video memory) issues would typically cause display-related errors, not memory configuration issues.

RAID cache failure (Option C):RAID cache issues would lead to storage errors but not prevent the system from configuring memory.

BIOS update (Option D):While BIOS issues can cause boot failures, the error message suggests a memory-specific issue.
