CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

A systems administrator receives an alert from the server's management system about a critical fan failure. At the rack, the administrator observes a solid amber LED on one of the fan modules, while the others show green. The server is equipped with redundant, hot-swappable fans and must remain online. What is the appropriate next step for the administrator to take?

  • Update the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) firmware, as a single fan alert is likely a false positive.

  • Without powering down the server, remove the access panel, replace the fan module with the amber LED, and verify the new module's indicator is green.

  • Schedule a maintenance window to power down the server before opening the chassis and replacing the fan module.

  • Use the server's management interface to issue a 'prepare for removal' command on the fan slot before swapping the hardware.
