CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 223

A server technician notices several of the servers in a data center are making loud noises. The servers are still working correctly, and no indicator lights show any issues. Which of the following should the technician do first to ensure the issues are corrected and the servers remain online?

Answer options

• A. Replace the drives.
• B. Upgrade the firmware.
• C. Establish a remote connection to the server.
• D. Replace the fans.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The first step should be to replace the fans, as they are likely the source of the loud noises. The drives and firmware are unrelated to the noise issue, and establishing a remote connection does not address the physical problem at hand.
