Question 15 - NetApp NS0-175 Real Exam Questions [Feb 2026 Update]

Q: 15

A customer wants to deploy a FlexPod Datacenter solution in a limited amount of rack space. After planning for the networking and storage devices required for the deployment, they realize they have six rack units of space remaining. They need to install as many servers as possible in this available rack space. In this scenario, which solution allows them to accomplish their objective?

Options

Correct Answer:

Explanation

The objective is to maximize the number of servers within a six-rack-unit (6U) space.

The Cisco UCS C4200 is a 2U chassis that can house up to four C125 M5 server nodes. Deploying three C4200 chassis would occupy the available 6U (3 x 2U) and provide a total of twelve server nodes (3 chassis x 4 nodes).

The other options yield fewer servers within the same 6U space: six C220 M5 servers (6 x 1U), eight B200 M5 blade servers (in one 6U chassis), or four B480 M5 blade servers (in one 6U chassis). Therefore, the C4200 solution provides the highest density.

Why Incorrect

B. four Cisco UCS B480 M blade servers: This solution requires a 6U Cisco UCS 5108 chassis and provides only four full-width blade servers.

C. six Cisco UCS C220 M5 rack servers: Each C220 M5 is a 1U server. This configuration would use all 6U of space but would only provide six servers.

D. eight Cisco UCS B200 M5 blade servers: This solution requires a 6U Cisco UCS 5108 chassis and provides eight half-width blade servers, which is fewer than option A.
