Sample CDCP Readiness practice questions
These sample items mirror the domains in the timed CDCP Readiness mock. Correct answers and explanations unlock inside the practice session.
Sample 1
A contractor runs new cable bundles through a two-hour fire-rated wall. What must be used to seal the penetration?
- A. Intumescent foam of any brand applied by hand
- B. Mineral wool packed tightly into the opening
- C. Listed systems tested for that penetration type
- D. Fire-rated gypsum board patched around cables
Sample 2
A customer's servers are being retired from its cage. What does proper decommissioning require?
- A. Removing the unit from the rack and shipping it back to the lessor
- B. Powering off the server and leaving it in place until the next audit
- C. Quick-formatting drives before sending the equipment for recycling
- D. Power/cooling isolation, data sanitization, and asset disposal records
Sample 3
A chiller plant needs three chillers to meet the design load and has four installed (N+1). While one chiller is out for planned maintenance, what is the plant's redundancy position?
- A. It stays N+1, because the remaining chillers share the load equally
- B. It becomes 2N, because the standby chiller is now running at full duty
- C. It becomes N-1, so the IT load must be reduced for the duration
- D. It runs at N with no spare, so another failure would cut capacity
Sample 4
An Uptime Institute Tier III site takes one of its two power distribution paths out of service for planned breaker maintenance. Which statement BEST describes the facility's resilience during that work?
- A. The load stays up on the other path, but an unplanned fault on it could still cause an outage
- B. The site stays fault tolerant, because Tier III demands 2N components on every distribution path
- C. The IT load must move to maintenance bypass, because Tier III permits only one active path
- D. The site drops to Tier I for the work and must book an IT shutdown window in advance
Sample 5
A contractor must weld a support bracket inside a live data centre. What does the hot work permit control?
- A. Control welding/cutting with fire watch and area preparation
- B. Authorise welding once the IT customer approves the outage
- C. Replace the change ticket for any work using power tools
- D. Cover cutting work only, since welding falls under the MOP
