Transceivers on FC Modules and Ethernet Modules
Correct Correct!
140. Which statements about stabilizing and grounding a PCA System are
(1) Points
The PDUs in system racks can provide necessary grounding for the Private
Cloud Appliance through power cords. (*)
Stabilizing with Mounting Brackets can make system more stable but has more
restricted requirements to installation location. (*)
If customers want to move a PCA System to different locations, the PCA System
should be stabilized with Leveling Feet. (*)
Grounding cable from racks is optional to provide extra safety. (*)
For a fully loaded Private Cloud Appliance, only stabilizing with Mounting
Brackets is allowed.
141. Please select the correct sequence of actions to install a new

Compute Node into Private Cloud Appliance.
1. Remove front & rear rack doors

2. Remove filler panel of the RU to install the Compute Node

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3 (*)
2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 3
142. Which statements about cabling a PCA System are correct? Mark
for Review
(1) Points
Both 10Gb and GbE switches can be supported for Ethernet Connections.
Before connecting network cables to the PCA System, the brackets at back of
both Fabric Interconnect must be removed first. (*)
Power cords from PDUs are pre-loaded in the PCA System, however matched
receptacles must be prepared by customer's data center. (*)
Power cords can be routed from top or bottom of each rack to work with
different data center environment. (*)
Network cables from the PCA System should connect to network switches in data
center. (*)
143. Which action are NOT correct when unpacking and moving a PCA
System to installation location? Mark for Review
(1) Points
Push from both sides of racks to move it to installation location
Move racks from shipping pallet carefully to avoid rocking or tilting
Unpack racks at a location where is flat and can support total weight of the
package
Throw away mounting brackets of racks because they are useless after
installation (*)
Recycle packaging of the PCA System properly to protect environment
