CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 376

After extremely high temperatures cause a power outage, the servers automatically shut down, even though the UPSs for the servers still have hours of battery life. Which of the following should a technician recommend?

Answer options

• A. Include backup power for air-conditioning units.
• B. Configure door locks to automatically lock during power outages.
• C. Increase UPS battery size.
• D. Add an IoT-enabled thermostat.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because backup power for air-conditioning units ensures that cooling continues even during a power outage, preventing server shutdowns due to high temperatures. Options B and D do not address the immediate need for cooling, and option C does not solve the underlying issue of temperature management during power outages.
