CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 11

A server has two power supplies. If power is lost to the second power supply, which of the following will occur?

Answer options

• A. The server will gracefully shut down
• B. The server will remain in operation
• C. The automatic transfer switch will bring in generator power
• D. The UPS will exceed maximum load

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the server is designed to continue functioning with a single power supply, ensuring redundancy. Options A and C imply a total power failure response that doesn't occur in this scenario, while D suggests an overload that isn't relevant as the server can operate with one supply.
