CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 202

A server administrator is installing a new server in a data center. The administrator connects the server to a midplane but does not connect any cables. Which of the following types of servers is the administrator MOST likely installing?

Answer options

• A. Rack
• B. Virtual
• C. Tower
• D. Blade

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Blade, because blade servers are designed to connect to a midplane for power and data, minimizing the need for external cabling. In contrast, Rack servers typically require individual cable connections, Virtual servers exist as software instances, and Tower servers are standalone units that do not connect to a midplane.
