CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
During an overnight audit, a monitoring platform logs repeated CPU temperature alerts on a 2-U application server. When the systems administrator examines the front bezel, a thick layer of dust is visible on the intake vents and heat-sink fins, and the fans are running at maximum speed. A 15-minute maintenance window has been approved to restore proper cooling without removing the server from the rack. Which tool is the BEST choice to clear the obstruction quickly and return the system to a safe temperature?
A household vacuum cleaner with a plastic hose to remove the dust
A can of compressed air directed at the vents and heat-sink fins
A digital multimeter set to measure the power-supply rails
A loopback plug connected to the server's network interface
