Question 20

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect PDU outlet maps, breaker assignments, dual-cord wiring, load readings and approved failover test logs.
  2. Trace each power supply to independent approved rack feeds and test safe loss of either feed within the supported power budget.
  3. Inspect facility grounding tests, rack bonds, wrist-strap practice, ESD storage and chassis service records.
  4. Count two server power supplies as redundancy even when both draw from the same single point of failure.
  5. Provision unique BMC addresses on protected out-of-band management, rotate initial credentials and test access separately from host networking.

Explanation

Correct Answers

A:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Inspect PDU outlet maps, breaker assignments, dual-cord wiring, load readings and approved failover test logs. Observed scenario: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed.

B:

This is an appropriate correction for Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping: Trace each power supply to independent approved rack feeds and test safe loss of either feed within the supported power budget. Observed scenario: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed.

Incorrect Answers

C:

This alternative is relevant to Rack bonding grounding and ESD handling but does not directly resolve the current Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping issue: Inspect facility grounding tests, rack bonds, wrist-strap practice, ESD storage and chassis service records. Observed scenario: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed.

D:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping: Count two server power supplies as redundancy even when both draw from the same single point of failure. Observed scenario: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed. The governing mechanism is: Power redundancy depends on independent supply paths and properly sized capacity, not merely on the number of power cords. The proportionate action is: Trace each power supply to independent approved rack feeds and test safe loss of either feed within the supported power budget. A direct check is: Inspect PDU outlet maps, breaker assignments, dual-cord wiring, load readings and approved failover test logs. The acceptance condition is: A planned single-feed isolation leaves required servers within power limits and serving their intended workloads.

E:

This alternative is relevant to BMC network bring-up and out-of-band separation but does not directly resolve the current Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping issue: Provision unique BMC addresses on protected out-of-band management, rotate initial credentials and test access separately from host networking. Observed scenario: A rack installation alternates A and B outlet labels without verifying which upstream electrical branch actually powers each feed.
