Question

A technician has found that the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to a server does not have sufficient battery power to allow the server to shutdown gracefully. Which of the following is the MOST cost effective way to allow this server to shutdown gracefully?

Options

  • AInstall a second UPS.
  • BIncrease the size of the swapfile.
  • CIncrease the size of the pagefile.
  • DInstall an extended battery pack into the UPS.

Why each option

To allow a server connected to a UPS to shut down gracefully when the UPS lacks sufficient battery power, installing an extended battery pack is the most cost-effective solution.

AInstall a second UPS.

Installing a second UPS would also increase runtime but is generally a more expensive solution than simply adding a compatible extended battery pack to the existing unit.

BIncrease the size of the swapfile.

Increasing the size of the swapfile allocates more disk space for virtual memory, which has no direct impact on the UPS battery runtime or the time needed for a graceful shutdown.

CIncrease the size of the pagefile.

Increasing the size of the pagefile allocates more disk space for virtual memory, which has no direct impact on the UPS battery runtime or the time needed for a graceful shutdown.

DInstall an extended battery pack into the UPS.Correct

An extended battery pack increases the total battery capacity of the existing UPS, thereby prolonging the runtime during a power outage. This additional runtime provides more time for the connected server to perform a graceful shutdown before the power completely depletes.
