CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 24

A systems administrator is preparing to install two servers in a single rack. The administrator is concerned that having both servers in one rack will increase the chance of power issues due to the increased load. Which of the following should the administrator implement FIRST to address the issue?

Answer options

• A. Separate circuits
• B. An uninterruptible power supply
• C. Increased PDU capacity
• D. Redundant power supplies

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Implementing separate circuits is the most effective first step to reduce the risk of power issues, as it distributes the load across different power sources. An uninterruptible power supply, increased PDU capacity, and redundant power supplies are all important for backup and reliability but do not address the initial concern of load distribution in the same way that separate circuits do.
