A system administrator notices that the cooling fan LEDs on the front of a PowerEdge R740 are blinking amber. iDRAC shows 'Fan 3 failed' and the fan RPM reading for Fan 3 is 0. The server is still running. What is the immediate risk and the correct response?

The fan is fine; the LED is just a warning that the fan is running slower than expected.

The server must be powered off immediately to prevent hardware damage.

The server is at risk of overheating; replace Fan 3 as soon as possible, but the server can run temporarily if ambient temperature is controlled.

The server is safe because the other fans will automatically spin faster to compensate.

What is the primary purpose of documenting health check findings for a Dell PowerEdge server?

To automatically apply firmware updates

To replace the need for regular health checks

To communicate hardware status to stakeholders and support future troubleshooting

To increase the server's processing speed

A media company runs a PowerEdge R750 with a RAID 5 array of 8 SAS drives. During a health check, OMSA reports that one drive has a 'SMART Alert' and its status is 'Predictive Failure'. The array is still in a 'Ready' state. What should the administrator do?

Wait until the drive actually fails, then replace it.

Replace all drives in the array to ensure consistency.

Check the SMART data, but do nothing because the array is still ready.

Replace the failing drive immediately, as the SMART alert indicates imminent failure.
