What are two advantages of the distributed redundant UPS configuration? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AIt is the easiest configuration to manage.
• BIt uses dual power paths or dual corded servers.
• CIt has increased reliability by eliminating the static transfer switches (STS).
• DEquipment can be maintained without transferring the load to the bypass.

• A
  15% (4)
• B
  74% (20)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Checking whether any skills apply to this tutoring/explanation task before responding.

This is a straightforward educational explanation with no coding or implementation component, so no skill applies here.

Distributed redundant UPS uses dual power paths or dual-corded servers (B), meaning each piece of equipment draws from two independent UPS-backed circuits simultaneously, so if one path fails the other sustains the load without interruption. Because of that built-in redundancy at the path level, a technician can take one UPS unit offline for service while the other path keeps equipment running, making option D ("equipment can be maintained without transferring the load to bypass") the second correct answer for this choose-two question. Option A is wrong because managing multiple distributed UPS units across a facility is significantly more complex than a centralized design. Option C is wrong because distributed redundant configurations do not necessarily eliminate static transfer switches; STS elimination is more associated with other topologies such as the 2N design.

Memory tip: Think "distributed redundant" as two rivers feeding one lake -- two power paths (B) mean you can dam one river for repairs without the lake going dry (D).
