Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerProtect DD — Question 10

A PowerProtect DD appliance with two expansion shelves is being installed in a customer-provided rack.
When cabling the controller to the shelves, what is connected to the host port on the last shelf in the chain?

Answer options

• A. Expansion port of the upstream shelf
• B. Host port of the controller
• C. Expansion port of the controller
• D. Host port of the downstream shelf

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct connection for the host port on the last shelf is the expansion port of the upstream shelf, which allows for proper communication between the shelves. Connecting to the host port of the controller or the downstream shelf is incorrect, as they do not establish the required link for data flow in this configuration.
