DELL D-PEXE-IN-A-00 Practice Test - Questions Answers

List of questions
Question 1

A deployment engineer is installing a PowerEdge XE8640 server. The rack has four PDUs. Looking at the rear of the rack, one power source provides power to the two left PDUs. A different power source provides power to the two right PDUs.
What side of the rack should XE8640 PSU 1 and PSU 2 be connected?
Redundancy and Load Balancing:
PowerEdge XE8640 servers are designed for high availability and reliability. One key aspect of this design is the redundancy provided by the server's Power Supply Units (PSUs). By connecting each PSU to a different power source, you ensure that the server remains operational even if one power source fails.
Power Source Configuration:
In this scenario, the rack has two distinct power sources: one supplying power to the two left PDUs and the other to the two right PDUs. To maximize redundancy, each PSU should be connected to a different power source.
PSU Placement:
PSU 1 in the left PDUs: Connect PSU 1 to one of the PDUs on the left side of the rack. This ensures that PSU 1 is powered by the first power source.
PSU 2 in the right PDUs: Connect PSU 2 to one of the PDUs on the right side of the rack. This ensures that PSU 2 is powered by the second power source.
Ensuring Redundancy:
By placing PSU 1 on the left and PSU 2 on the right, you create a redundant power configuration. If either power source fails, the other PSU can continue to supply power to the server, maintaining its operation.
Steps for Connection:
Step 1: Verify that the rack's PDUs are correctly connected to their respective power sources.
Step 2: Identify the left and right PDUs based on their power source connections.
Step 3: Connect PSU 1 to a PDU on the left side of the rack.
Step 4: Connect PSU 2 to a PDU on the right side of the rack.
Step 5: Confirm that both PSUs are securely connected and receiving power from separate sources.
Safety and Verification:
Ensure that all connections are secure and that the cables are managed to prevent interference with other components or airflow within the rack. Verify that each PSU is functioning correctly by checking the server's power status indicators.

Question 2

DRAG DROP
What is the sequence of steps to install an XE9680 server in a new rack.
Question 3

A customer wants to implement 20 PowerEdge XE9680 servers for development and rendering of their studio CGI production. The solution includes a shared development environment with multiple outside partners, professionals, and hobbyists.
Due to the heating and cooling limitations of the data center, what GPUs should be used for the servers?
Question 4

A deployment engineer goes on-site to install a mix of XE systems in a customer testing and development data center. The customer engineering group is stress testing the PowerEdge XE servers to determine the best XE server for their software applications. As one of the first steps, they must ensure the correct server rails are on-site.
Which three options are a correct matching of rail type with server type?
Question 5

A deployment engineer is installing an XE9680 server. The network connectivity has 24 optical cables that route to switches in the data center. The administrator questions the use of a cable management arm (CMA).
What are two items to consider when installing a CMA?
Question 6

What must be considered regarding stab-in rails with installing a PowerEdge XE server?
Question 7

A deployment engineer arrives on-site to install an XE9680 server. The server lift does not have the ability to maneuver beneath the XE9680 shipping pallet.
How many people must you have to physically pick up the server to place it on the lift shelf?
Question 8

A deployment engineer installed and powered on a XE8640 server. The Linux operating system is installed. They need to update the drivers on the server.
What is a consideration before updating the driver?
Question 9

A deployment engineer is installing a PowerEdge XE8640 server. The server is on a lift, and they have aligned the server inner rails with the rail assemble that are secured in the rack. The engineer can only push the server into the rack a short distance before it stops. Pushing forcefully causes the rack to slide back.
What action should the deployment engineer take?
Question 10

A deployment engineer is preparing to install three PowerEdge XE9680 servers in a rack supplied by the customer.
What must they before going on-site to install the servers?
