Explanation

Power Advisor and OCA (Online Configuration Assistant) are HPE's pre-sales planning tools specifically designed to calculate power consumption and thermal output, including BTU/hr ratings, for complete rack-level configurations. Power Advisor models power draw across all components in a proposed solution, while OCA generates configuration summaries that include thermal specifications - both are built for exactly this use case.

The distractors serve different purposes: SPOCK is a compatibility-checking tool (which products work together), not a thermal calculator. HPE Assessment Foundry evaluates existing customer environments rather than proposed solutions. GreenLake Central manages HPE's consumption-based cloud services. CloudPhysics is a workload and cloud migration analytics platform.

Memory tip: Think "plan before you plant" - Power Advisor and OCA are both pre-sales configuration tools used to plan a rack before it's deployed. If the tool's purpose is to help a customer decide what to buy (not manage what they have), it's a candidate for BTU output. Distractors B, C, D, and E all deal with existing environments or compatibility, not new-solution thermal sizing.
