Dell EMC D-XTR-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 3 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-XTR-DY-A-24 exam
Question #: 11

[All D-XTR-DY-A-24 Questions]

In an XtremIO X2-R four X-Brick cluster, how many total rack units should be left for the Cable Management ducts?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

For an XtremIO X2-R four X-Brick cluster, the total number of rack units that should be left for the Cable Management ducts (CMD) is 4U1. This is based on the specifications provided by Dell EMC, which indicate that the Cable Management ducts are optional and, when included, require 2U of rack space for a two-brick cluster. Therefore, for a four-brick cluster, it would be logical to double the space to 4U to accommodate the additional cabling and ensure proper cable management1.

The process for allocating space for CMDs involves:

Reviewing Specifications: Check the official XtremIO X2 specifications to determine the space requirements for CMDs.

Allocating Rack Space: Based on the specifications, allocate the necessary rack units for CMDs within the customer's rack.

Installing CMDs: Install the CMDs in the allocated space to manage the cables effectively.

Organizing Cables: Arrange and secure the cables within the CMDs to ensure a neat and organized cable layout.

Verifying Installation: Confirm that the CMDs are installed correctly and that all cables are managed properly without any strain or interference.

Nope, definitely 2U. That's what I've seen.

I remember the instructor mentioning that for a four X-Brick setup, we should leave 2U for cable management. That sounds right, doesn't it?

I feel like I saw a similar question in our practice tests, and I want to say it was 6U. But I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, I'm feeling more confident about this now. I'm going to carefully review the rack unit requirements for the X-Bricks and then do the calculation to determine the space left for the cable management ducts.

I think I've got a strategy for this. The key is to determine the total rack space required for the 4 X-Bricks, and then subtract that from the total available rack space to get the amount left for the cable management ducts. Let me work through the numbers.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the X-Bricks take up rack space, but I'm not sure how to calculate the remaining space for the cable management ducts. I'll need to review the specifications for the X2-R cluster.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. An XtremIO X2-R cluster has 4 X-Bricks, and each X-Brick takes up a certain amount of rack space. The question is asking how much space should be left for the cable management ducts.
