   An enterprise customer is planning the installation of a PowerMax 8500. The data center floor plan shows two adjacent racks with a combined weight capacity of 1,200 kg. The system's total weight is 1,000 kg. The customer wants to place all components in one rack. What is the correct approach?

   • AInstall all components in one rack because the total weight is within the combined capacity of the two racks.
   • BDisperse the components across both racks to distribute the weight and follow the manufacturer's dispersion requirement.
   • CUse a single rack but add a structural reinforcement kit to increase the rack's weight capacity.
   • DPlace the heavier components in one rack and the lighter components in the other, regardless of the dispersion guidelines.

   A customer is planning the installation of a PowerMax 8500. The data center has a row of four racks. The system requires dispersion across multiple racks. What is the primary reason for this dispersion requirement?

   • ATo reduce the amount of cabling required between the system's components.
   • BTo make it easier to connect the system to the customer's existing network infrastructure.
   • CTo ensure that each rack has a similar weight, preventing any single rack from being overloaded.
   • DTo allow for proper airflow and cooling, as the system generates significant heat that cannot be managed in a single rack.
