A customer is installing a PowerScale node in a location that has a history of static electricity issues. The floor is carpeted, and the humidity is often below 40%. What should you recommend to the customer before installation?

Use a humidifier only during the installation and then remove it.

Increase the room's humidity to the recommended range and use ESD-safe flooring.

Install anti-static mats and ensure the technician uses a grounded wrist strap.

Ground the equipment rack to the building's earth ground.

A customer is preparing to install a PowerScale cluster in a new data center. The data center has a 1000 kW power capacity, but the customer's cluster will draw 50 kW. The cooling system is rated for 60 kW of heat removal. What is the most important site readiness check?

Confirm that the data center has adequate physical space for the cluster.

Verify that the power capacity is sufficient for the cluster and other equipment in the data center.

Check that the network connectivity is sufficient for the cluster's management and data traffic.

Verify that the cooling system can handle the heat load of the cluster and other equipment.

Which regulatory standard is commonly applicable to the installation of enterprise hardware like PowerScale?

ISO 9001 for quality management

PCI DSS for payment card security

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

HIPAA for health information privacy

A customer is planning to install a PowerScale cluster in a data center that has a raised floor with a 600 kg/m² load rating. The cluster will consist of 8 nodes, each weighing 45 kg, installed in a single 42U rack that weighs 200 kg. The rack has a footprint of 0.6 m². What should you recommend?

Reduce the number of nodes to 6 to keep the weight within the floor's rating.

Install the cluster on a concrete slab instead of the raised floor.

Use a load-spreading plate under the rack to distribute the weight over a larger area.

Proceed with the installation because the total weight of 560 kg is within the floor's load rating.
