Two technicians are asked to install a 6U server at location U25 in a 40U server rack. The rack has been properly stabilized to the floor. Which of the following tools would BEST be used to install…

An anti-static strap protects equipment from electrostatic discharge during handling but provides no mechanical assistance for lifting or positioning a heavy server in a rack.

A server lift (also called a data center lift or rack lift) is a mechanical device designed to safely raise heavy rack-mounted equipment to the target rack unit height. A 6U server can weigh well over 100 lbs, making manual placement at U25 physically unsafe, and a server lift is the industry-standard tool to prevent injury and equipment damage during installation.

A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) distributes electrical power to rack-mounted equipment and has no role in physically lifting or positioning a server during installation.

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides battery backup power to protect against outages and has no function in the physical installation or lifting of a server.
