   A customer is installing a PowerMax 2500 in a data center with a raised floor. The floor tiles have a weight limit of 500 kg per tile. The system's total weight is 600 kg. The customer wants to place the system on a single tile. What is the correct approach?

   • APlace the system on a single tile because the weight is distributed across the system's four feet.
   • BPlace the system on a concrete slab instead of the raised floor to avoid the weight limit.
   • CUse a load-spreading plate to distribute the weight across multiple tiles.
   • DReduce the system's weight by removing some disk drives before installation.
