A fabric diagram for a PowerMax 8500 shows a direct connection between the two storage processors (SP-A and SP-B). What is the primary purpose of this inter-SP connection?

To provide a redundant path for host data traffic

To enable cache coherency and data sharing between the SPs

To connect the SPs to the SVP for management

To allow the expansion enclosures to be accessed by both SPs

Which component receives power from the power distribution unit (PDU) in a PowerMax 2500 or 8500 system?

Power supplies in the enclosures

A facility manager is planning the power layout for a new PowerMax 2500 installation. The array's base enclosure has two power supplies. To meet the manufacturer's redundancy requirements, what is the minimum number of separate power circuits that must be run to the enclosure?

Two separate circuits, one for each power supply

Three circuits, with one as a spare

One circuit per enclosure, regardless of power supply count

One circuit with a high-capacity breaker

During a PowerMax 8500 installation, the administrator notices that the power cable for one of the power supplies is routed alongside a high-voltage AC line in the same cable tray. What is the primary concern with this routing?

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt the power supply's operation

The power cable may overheat due to proximity to the AC line

It will cause the power supply to draw more current

It violates electrical code separation requirements for safety
