You are adding a new rack to your data center, which will house two new blade servers and a new switch. The new servers will be used for file storage and a database server. The only space you have available in the data center is on the opposite side of the room from your existing rack, which already houses several servers, a switch, and a router. You plan to configure a trunk port on each switch and connect them with a cross-over UTP plenum cable that will run through the suspended tile ceiling of the data center. To provide power for the new devices, you had an electrician install several new 20-amp wall outlets near the new rack. Each device in the rack will be plugged directly into one of these new wall outlets. What is wrong with this configuration
