NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 53

You were asked to install a FAS9000 with two quad-port SAS PCI cards. The SAS PCI cards are installed in slot 9 and slot 1. In preparation for the installation, you are filling out the SAS cabling worksheet.
In this scenario, which ports are used for the second stack?

Answer options

• A. 9a/1d
• B. 9c/1a
• C. 9b/1b
• D. 9a/1a

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C (9b/1b) because the second stack utilizes the remaining ports of the quad-port SAS PCI cards installed in slot 9 and slot 1. Options A, B, and D do not represent valid combinations for the second stack based on the configuration of the installed cards.
