Why each option

When selecting a UPS for a server room, critical considerations are the estimated runtime it can provide during an outage and the maximum electrical load it can support from connected equipment.

ANetwork card configuration

Network card configuration relates to network devices or servers, not a primary factor for UPS selection itself, although some UPS units have network management cards for monitoring.

BRemote access procedures

Remote access procedures relate to IT operations and management, not a characteristic or factor for selecting the physical UPS hardware.

CEstimated runtimeCorrect

Estimated runtime is crucial for a UPS as it dictates how long servers can remain operational during a power outage, allowing for graceful shutdown or generator activation.

DMaximum loadCorrect

The maximum load, or VA/Watt capacity, of a UPS must exceed the total power consumption of all connected devices to ensure it can adequately power them without overloading.

EPower cord length

Power cord length is a minor practical detail for placement, not a primary technical factor for the UPS's core function or capacity requirements.
