To achieve maximum capacity on an IP500 V2 control unit, how many external expansion modules may be added in total, without adding a 4-port expansion card?

Question

Options

• A14
• B4
• C8
• D18

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  86% (51)
• C
  7% (4)
• D
  5% (3)

Explanation

Option B (4) is correct because the IP500 V2 control unit natively supports a maximum of 4 external expansion module slots without any additional hardware. This is the base physical limit built into the chassis itself.

• A (14) is wrong - this number has no direct relationship to the IP500 V2's base expansion architecture; it likely serves as a plausible-sounding distractor.
• C (8) is wrong - 8 might tempt candidates who double the correct answer or confuse it with a different configuration tier, but it requires additional expansion cards to approach.
• D (18) is wrong - 18 represents a maximum figure only achievable with additional 4-port expansion cards installed, which the question explicitly excludes.

Memory tip: Link "IP500 V2" to the number 4 - think "500 ÷ 125 = 4" or simply remember that without extra cards, you get 4 slots for 4 modules, keeping the base unit clean and simple.
