   A company is installing a PowerScale F200 node in a small server room that has a standard 42U rack. The room's cooling system is rated for 8 kW total heat load, and the current equipment already consumes 6.5 kW. The F200 node has a maximum power draw of 1.2 kW. The installation team is ready to mount the node. What must the team do before proceeding with the rack installation?

   • AInstall the node at the very top of the rack to maximize airflow and reduce the heat load on lower equipment.
   • BConnect the node's power cables to the PDU and power it on to verify it operates before mounting it in the rack.
   • CVerify the rack is bolted to the floor and the room's cooling capacity is sufficient for the additional heat load.
   • DReplace the existing 42U rack with a wider rack to accommodate the F200 node's larger form factor.
