Exin CDCS Exam - Topic 2 Question 26 Discussion

Actual exam question for Exin's CDCS exam
Question #: 26
Topic #: 2
[All CDCS Questions]

A data center scores Rated-3 in mechanical, Rated-4 in electrical, and Rated-2 in telecommunications. What is the overall rating?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

ANSI/TIA-942 defines that the lowest rating across all four categories determines the overall facility rating. A facility cannot claim a higher overall level unless all subsystems meet or exceed that level.

In this case:

Mechanical = Rated-3

Electrical = Rated-4

Telecommunications = Rated-2

Since telecommunications only meets Rated-2, the overall facility is Rated-2, regardless of higher scores elsewhere.

This ensures that weak areas (like cabling) are not ignored, because they can compromise overall availability.
