The correct answer is C. 20.

Question
A system administrator is designing a solution for a customer who will be purchasing a large number of PowerEdge MX7000 chassis. For ease of management, they would like to have the least number of chassis management groups as possible. What is the maximum number of MX7000 chassis that are supported in a multi-chassis management group?
Options

- B16
- C20
- D32

Explanation
Option C (20) is correct because Dell officially supports a maximum of 20 MX7000 chassis in a single multi-chassis management group (MCM group), with one chassis acting as the lead and up to 19 as members - this is the architectural ceiling designed to balance scalability with manageability.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A (10) is too low and doesn't match any documented MCM limit; it may be confused with other grouping or licensing thresholds.
- B (16) is a plausible-sounding power-of-two value but is not the actual MCM limit for the MX7000.
- D (32) exceeds the supported maximum and would be correct for some other Dell modular or blade grouping contexts, making it a tempting trap.
Memory tip: Think "20/20 vision" - you need perfect clarity to manage up to 20 MX7000 chassis in one group. If you see 20 on a Dell MX7000 MCM question, that's your answer.
