Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The most reliable way to identify PSU 2 on a PowerEdge R760 is to check the chassis label near the power supplies, which clearly marks PSU numbers for accurate identification. This physical label ensures certainty without assumptions. Using iDRAC to blink LEDs is useful but less direct, assuming LEDs are off is unreliable, and checking PSU 1's LED does not identify PSU 2. Exact extract: "Describe maintenance functions, shutdowns, reboots of a PowerEdge Server... Explain the power distribution considerations." Reference: Dell PowerEdge Foundations v2 Exam Description (D-PE-FN-01), Topic: Maintenance (18%).
