Answer 1

During an inspection, it was found that data racks were not properly grounded. To pass the inspection and address a growing concern to protect data cabling and equipment, a technician must make sure all racks are properly grounded. The following tools the technician should use to verify this has been completed:

a. Multimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

• The option a is correct as the multimeter is used for ground bond test which is also known as ground continuity test.
• The option b is not correct as the cable tester is used to check the connectivity or strength of a wire.
• The option c is incorrect as tone generator is used for audio devices as it convert the electrical signal in audio signal.
• The option d is also incorrect as it is not sufficient to check the ground. As it is check the potential difference between two points.

Answer 2

a. Multimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

A Multimeter which is an electrical device that can be operated by hand and can be used to measure voltage, current and resistance in a circuit is the best tool which the technician must use to make sure all racks are properly grounded.
