NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 11

A customer mentions that after replacing a failed power supply, their FAS2220 system is now unavailable.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. The FAS2220 system requires that the power supply is replaced within two minutes after removal.
• B. The power supply is not hot-swappable on a FAS2220.
• C. The FAS2220 system requires both power supplies properly functioning to serve data.
• D. The FAS2220 system shut down after 15 minutes due to having only one power supply installed.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the FAS2220 requires both power supplies to function correctly and continue servicing data. Option A is incorrect as there's no strict two-minute rule for replacing the power supply. Option B is wrong since the FAS2220 does allow for hot-swapping in certain configurations. Option D is misleading because the system's availability depends on having both power supplies operational, not just the time elapsed after one is removed.
