CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 91

An organization is moving to a new datacenter. During the move, several technicians raise concerns about a system that could potentially remove oxygen from the server room and result in suffocation.
Which of the following systems are they MOST likely discussing?

Answer options

• A. Fire suppression
• B. Mantraps at the entry
• C. HVAC
• D. UPS and battery backups

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Fire suppression, as certain fire suppression systems can use gases that displace oxygen to extinguish fires, potentially causing suffocation. Options B (Mantraps) and C (HVAC) are related to security and temperature control, respectively, but do not pose a direct risk of oxygen removal. Option D (UPS and battery backups) pertains to power supply and has no impact on oxygen levels.
