A technician is installing a 2U server into a standard 19-inch rack. What is the primary purpose of using cage nuts and rack screws when securing the server?

To securely fasten the server to the rack's square holes

To allow the server to slide in and out for maintenance

To reduce vibration from cooling fans

To provide a grounding path for the server chassis

What is a recommended practice when labeling cables?

Label cables with the IP address of the device

Use color-coded labels only, without text

Use a consistent labeling scheme at both ends of the cable

Label only the end that is less accessible

What is the primary purpose of a server's internal cooling fans?

To reduce noise from the server

To cool the room where the server is located

To draw cool air over heat-generating components

To prevent dust from entering the server

A server administrator is configuring a server with dual power supplies for redundancy. The server is connected to two separate PDUs, each on a different UPS. What additional step should be taken to ensure true power redundancy?

Use a single PDU with dual inputs to provide redundancy.

Enable power supply redundancy in the BIOS to allow load balancing.

Ensure that the two PDUs are on different circuits and that the UPSs are sized to handle the full load.

Connect both power supplies to the same PDU to simplify management.

A technician is labeling cables in a server rack. The goal is to make it easy to identify which server and port each cable connects to. Which labeling scheme is most effective?

Use numbered labels that correspond to the rack U position.

Label only the server end of each cable to save time.

Use a color-coding system based on cable type (e.g., blue for network, red for power).

Label each cable with a unique identifier that matches a cable management document.
