QuestionQ5

Server hardware installation and management

A systems administrator is planning to install two servers in one rack. The administrator is concerned that placing both servers in a single rack will raise the likelihood of power problems because of the added load. Which of the following should the administrator implement FIRST to address this concern?

Explanation

The rack PDU must have sufficient capacity for the combined electrical load of both servers. Increasing PDU capacity directly prevents overload-related power issues before adding resiliency measures such as a UPS, separate circuits, or redundant power supplies.
