   A hospital is deploying a new PA-5280 pair in its existing server room. The current power distribution unit (PDU) provides 30A at 208V, and the rack has two free units of space. The hospital's cooling system can handle an additional 3,000 BTU/hr. Which additional assessment is most critical before finalizing the deployment?

   • AVerify that the PDU can supply the combined amperage draw of both firewalls and that the cooling capacity covers their heat output.
   • BCheck that the firewalls have enough SFP+ ports for all fiber connections.
   • CConfirm that the firewalls support the hospital's VLAN configuration and routing protocols.
   • DEnsure the firewalls are compatible with the hospital's existing management software.
