A CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 administrator reviews this production scenario: A blade enclosure has two hot-plug supplies, but one branch circuit is already overloaded and staff plan to remove the healthy supply while power demand is high. Which configuration or design change most directly solves the requirement?
