CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 507
A company, which is located in a coastal town, retrofitted an office building for a new data center. The underground fiber optics were brought in and connected to the switches in the basement network MDF. A server data center was built on the fifth floor with the two rooms vertically connected by fiber optics. Which of the following types of environmental sensors is most needed?
Answer options
- A. Temperature sensor in the network MOF
- B. Water sensor in the network MDF
- C. Temperature sensor in the data center
- D. Water sensor in the data center
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as a water sensor in the network MDF is crucial for detecting any potential leaks that could arise from the coastal location, which may threaten the integrity of the network infrastructure. Options A and C focus on temperature, which is important but not as critical in this specific context. Option D, while relevant for the data center, does not address the primary concern of water exposure in the MDF area.
