CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 294

A technician notices that every time a server is powered on, it turns off after several minutes. After reviewing logs, the technician notices the server registers execution of the shutdown. Which of the following should the technician do to fix this issue?

Answer options

• A. Reset the memory modules.
• B. Check for fan failure.
• C. Change the VM password.
• D. Set credentials for the remote console.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because overheating due to fan failure can cause the server to shut down automatically to prevent damage. Options A, C, and D do not address the likely hardware failure causing the shutdown, making them less relevant solutions.
