[All SK0-005 Questions]

A technician is checking a server rack. Upon entering the room, the technician notices the fans on a particular server in the rack are running at high speeds. This is the only server in the rack that is experiencing this behavior. The ambient temperature in the room appears to be normal. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason why the fans in that server are operating at full speed?

  • A. The server is in the process of shutting down, so fan speed operations have been defaulted to high.
  • B. An incorrect fan size was inserted into the server, and the server has had to increase the fan speed to compensate.
  • C. A fan failure has occurred, and the other fans have increased speed to compensate.
  • D. The server is utilizing more memory than the other servers, so it has increased the fans to compensate.

Selected Answer: C
C. A fan failure is the MOST likely reason why the fans in that server are operating at full speed while the other servers in the rack are operating normally. When a fan fails, the other fans in the server have to work harder to compensate for the loss of airflow. This increased workload causes the remaining fans to run at a higher speed than normal to maintain adequate cooling for the server components. Option A is incorrect because the fan speed is not dependent on the server shutting down. Option B is unlikely because the server would not be designed to increase the fan speed to compensate for an incorrect fan size. Option D is also unlikely because fan speed is not dependent on the memory usage of the server.
