CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 29

A technician is installing a variety of servers in a rack. Which of the following is the BEST course of action for the technician to take while loading the rack?

Answer options

• A. Alternate the direction of the airflow
• B. Install the heaviest server at the bottom of the rack
• C. Place a UPS at the top of the rack
• D. Leave 1U of space between each server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Installing the heaviest server at the bottom of the rack is important for stability and safety, preventing the rack from tipping over. Alternating the airflow direction may not be necessary and could complicate cooling. Placing a UPS at the top can lead to balance issues, and leaving space between servers does not contribute to the structural integrity of the rack.
