Which deviation indicates EOSS does not match configuration?

Which deviation indicates EOSS does not match configuration?

• A. Adherence would damage equipment or injure personnel
• B. EOSS does not match configuration
• C. Component is inoperative or a TYCOM DFS is approved
• D. Pending software updates

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing when the steps in EOSS no longer reflect what is actually installed or configured on the system. When EOSS does not match configuration, it means there’s a direct discrepancy between the documented sequence and the real equipment setup, so this deviation signals a mismatch that should be logged and corrected to prevent executing the wrong procedures. The other options point to different issues: following EOSS that would damage equipment or injure personnel is a safety risk concern, not a mismatch indicator. A component being inoperative or a TYCOM DFS approval is about the component’s status or an authorized exception, not about the sequence not aligning with configuration. Pending software updates indicate upcoming changes, which is a status matter, not a direct mismatch between EOSS and the actual configuration.
