CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 149

Users in an office lost access to a file server following a short power outage. The server administrator noticed the server was powered off. Which of the following should the administrator do to prevent this situation in the future?

Answer options

• A. Connect the server to a KVM
• B. Use cable management
• C. Connect the server to a redundant network
• D. Connect the server to a UPS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Connecting the server to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is the correct choice as it provides backup power during outages, ensuring the server remains operational. The other options do not address the power failure directly; a KVM is for managing multiple servers, cable management organizes cables, and a redundant network would not prevent server shutdowns due to power loss.
