SK0-004 · Question #795

Which of the following can the administrator do to stop the server from shutting down when pulling the server forward to perform a task that requires opening the server?

The correct answer is B. Install a rail kit. A rail kit allows a server to slide forward on rails while maintaining power and data cable connections, eliminating the need to power down before servicing.

Why each option

A rail kit allows a server to slide forward on rails while maintaining power and data cable connections, eliminating the need to power down before servicing.

AInstall cable management arms

Cable management arms organize and protect cables during server extension but do not themselves prevent a shutdown - they complement a rail kit rather than replace it.

BInstall a rail kitCorrect

Rail kits enable a server to extend out from the rack on sliding rails without disconnecting power or data cables. This means the server stays powered on and operational while the administrator pulls it forward to open the chassis for maintenance or hardware tasks.

CInstall the server in another rack

Moving the server to another rack does not address the core problem of maintaining connectivity while pulling the server forward for servicing.

DInstall redundant power supply

Redundant power supplies protect against a single PSU failure but have no bearing on maintaining connectivity when physically extending the server.
