Click Study Flashcards above to open the flashcard hub — hundreds of Server+ cards you can flip, match, type, or quiz yourself on. Every card is drawn from the four official SK0-005 domains, so you study exactly what the exam tests.[1] Pair them with our free practice test and study guide.

CompTIA Server+ is one of the 14 CompTIA certifications — explore our CompTIA flashcards to compare and prep across the whole family.

Server+ Flashcard Study Modes

Flip mode is the straight study pass: read the front, recall the meaning, turn the card. Match is a timed game that pairs terms with definitions under pressure. Type hides the term and shows the definition, so a card like RPO has to come out of memory with correct spelling. Quiz turns the same 187 cards into multiple-choice questions for a quick confidence check.

Why Flashcards Work for the Server+

Server Administration carries 30% of the exam and holds the largest block in the deck at 50 cards. The fronts are the service, protocol, and virtualization shorthand you configure daily on a server build, including DNS, NTP, and SSH for remote and name services, plus RDP for graphical sessions and virtualization terms like P2V and vNIC. LDAP and DHCP sit here too, so directory and addressing vocabulary gets the same repetition.

Troubleshooting is 28% of the exam and 43 cards. These fronts are split between diagnostic tools and the symptoms and artifacts you read during a failure, so you get ping and SMART alongside boot-time evidence such as No POST, POST codes, and Beep codes. Event logs and Escalation round out the set, which keeps process vocabulary next to the hardware signals rather than separating them.

Security and Disaster Recovery accounts for 24% and 47 cards. Expect tight, easily confused acronyms: recovery targets like RTO and RPO, reliability measures such as MTTR and MTBF, and access and hardware-trust terms including MFA, RBAC, TPM, and HSM. Because several of these differ by one letter or one concept, they reward Type drilling more than passive reading.

Server Hardware Installation and Management is 18% of the exam and 47 cards. The fronts cover storage connection and topology language such as HBA, SAS, and DAS, along with the shared-storage pair NAS and SAN, then move into rack and power gear with PDU, UPS, and KVM. Working these as a group helps you keep storage types and facility components clearly separated.

The Server+ is dense with things you simply have to know cold — RAID levels and capacities, backup types, DR metrics (RTO/RPO), virtualization terms, and troubleshooting steps.[1] Spaced flashcards are the most efficient way to keep it all fresh. Used alongside our practice test and study guide, they turn review time into measurable progress.

Server+ Flashcards by Domain

The cards are organized by the four official SK0-005 domains. Drill the highest-weighted ones first — Server Administration and Troubleshooting make up well over half the exam:[1]

How to Get the Most Out of These Flashcards

  • Start with Server Administration. It is the heaviest domain at 30% and the biggest block at 50 cards, so early mastery of DNS, DHCP, and LDAP pays off across the whole deck.
  • Type-drill the near-twins. RTO and RPO, then MTTR and MTBF, are the cards most likely to blur under time pressure, and typing forces you to commit to one meaning.
  • Use Match for hardware shorthand. The storage and power fronts in Server Hardware Installation and Management, such as DAS, NAS, and SAN, sort quickly once you see them side by side repeatedly.
  • Move to the practice test when Quiz stops surprising you. Once the 43 Troubleshooting cards produce clean answers, you need full scenario questions rather than more term recall.
  • Rotate rather than binge. Work one domain per session across the 187 cards, revisit weak fronts like No POST or vNIC at the start of the next session, and pair review with the study guide.
