SK0-003 · Question #817
Which of the following allows multiple server systems to be connected by a backplane?
The correct answer is A. Blade form factor. Blade servers allow multiple compact server systems to be installed into a single chassis, where they share common resources and connect via a backplane for power, networking, and sometimes storage.

Why each option
Blade servers allow multiple compact server systems to be installed into a single chassis, where they share common resources and connect via a backplane for power, networking, and sometimes storage.
Blade servers are designed as modular, high-density server units that slide into a dedicated chassis. This chassis provides a shared backplane, which handles power distribution, network connectivity, and other shared infrastructure, allowing multiple blade servers to operate efficiently within a confined space.
Rack form factor servers are individual, self-contained units that are mounted in a server rack, but they do not share a common backplane for system connectivity with other servers in the same rack.
ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard form factor primarily used in desktop computers and standalone workstations, not a system designed to connect multiple server systems via a backplane.
Tower form factor refers to standalone server or desktop computers that typically operate independently and do not integrate with other server systems via a shared backplane.
