   A company is preparing a new FlexPod rack for installation in a data center. The facility engineer reports that the power distribution units (PDUs) in the rack provide only 30A at 208V, but the FlexPod design guide specifies a requirement of 60A at 208V for the full configuration. The engineer suggests using a step-down transformer to increase the current. What should the FlexPod administrator do?

   • AInstall the rack and then monitor power consumption to ensure it stays within limits.
   • BRequest that the facility provide a dedicated 60A circuit and appropriate PDU before installation.
   • CProceed with the installation, as the transformer will provide the required current.
   • DUse a smaller UPS to compensate for the lower PDU amperage.
