Dell EMC D-PEXE-IN-A-00 Exam - Topic 4 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-PEXE-IN-A-00 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 4

A deployment engineer is installing eight PowerEdge XE9680 servers. Two servers will be installed in each of four racks. The data center managers must plan for the power needed to supply power to

the four racks.

What power consumption information can the deployment engineer give the data center manager?

AEach rack must have at least 6 PDUs for power high availability.

BEach server has four 2800-Watt, 15.6 Amp PSUs.

CEach rack must power 12, 2800-Watt, 15.6 Amp PSUs.

DEach PDU must use a C20-type connection.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Understanding Stab-in Rails:

Stab-in rails are designed to simplify the server installation process. These rails enable a quick and straightforward installation of the server into the rack.

Compatibility and Usage:

Stab-in rails are specifically designed for use in 4-post racks with square holes. This compatibility ensures stability and proper fitting within the rack structure.

Installation Process:

Before initiating the installation, verify that the rack is a 4-post, square hole type.

Position the stab-in rails to align with the square holes on the rack. Typically, stab-in rails have tabs that fit precisely into these square holes.

Mounting the Server:

Once the rails are securely attached to the rack, the server can be mounted. The design of the stab-in rails facilitates a smooth insertion of the server, ensuring it is securely held in place.

Ensuring Proper Fit:

After the server is mounted, check to ensure that it is level and securely attached. This step is crucial to prevent any movement or displacement that could occur due to vibrations or physical disturbances.

Dell EMC PowerEdge XE9680 and XE8640 Installation and Service Manual: This manual provides detailed instructions on the use and installation of stab-in rails, including compatibility with specific rack types.

2800 Watts per PSU? Seems excessive, are you sure?

C20 connections are standard, no surprise there.

I thought each rack only needed 8 PSUs total, not 12.

Definitely need those PDUs for redundancy.

Each server really has four PSUs? That's a lot of power!

I vaguely remember something about C20 connections for PDUs, but I’m not certain if that’s a requirement for this setup.

I feel like the total power consumption for each rack should be calculated based on the number of servers and their PSUs, but I'm confused about the specifics.

I think we practiced a question about PDUs needing to be sufficient for redundancy, but I can't recall the exact number for each rack.

I remember that each server has multiple power supplies, but I'm not sure if it's four or two.

Got it, I think the answer is B. Each server has four 2800-Watt, 15.6 Amp PSUs, so the deployment engineer can provide that information to the data center manager.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if I should be looking at the power supply unit (PSU) specs or the overall rack power requirements.

Ah, I see. The question is asking about the power requirements for the racks, not the individual servers. I need to think about that.

Haha, I bet the data center manager is going to have a fun time figuring out how many outlets they need. Imagine if they forget to order enough PDUs, that would be a real power struggle!

Wait, doesn't that mean each rack will have 8 servers, so 32 PSUs? I'm not sure if C is the right answer then.

User 2: But if there are 8 servers in each rack, that means 32 PSUs in total. Maybe option C is correct.
