CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 401

Which of the following should an installer orient a port-side exhaust to when installing equipment?

Answer options

• A. The patch panel
• B. The front of the IDF
• C. The warm aisle
• D. The administrator console

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as orienting the port-side exhaust towards the warm aisle helps in effective cooling and airflow management. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not provide optimal airflow for thermal management, and option D is also not relevant to exhaust orientation.
