What is an advantage of using racks with threaded holes?

Options

• AEases repair
• BEases bolt alignment

Explanation

Racks with threaded holes have pre-tapped openings that accept screws directly, eliminating the need to first install cage nuts before mounting equipment. This saves meaningful time during server and equipment installation, which is why it increases the speed of deployment (D). Option A is incorrect because threaded holes do not specifically simplify repair work; cage nut racks can actually be easier to modify during servicing. Option B is incorrect because bolt alignment depends on rack rail design and equipment form factor, not on whether holes are threaded. Option C is incorrect and is arguably the opposite of reality: threaded racks are limited to one specific thread size, while square-hole racks paired with cage nuts can accommodate multiple thread sizes by swapping the cage nuts.

Memory tip: Think of threaded holes as "pre-loaded" - the work is already done before you arrive, so you can mount gear immediately and move on, which is exactly what speeds up deployment.
