An administrator notices repeated 'fan speed below minimum' events in the BMC event log over the past week. What is the most likely interpretation of this pattern?

The BMC firmware is outdated and needs an update

The server's power supply is failing

A fan is degrading and may need replacement

The server is operating normally and these are informational messages

On the BMC dashboard, a power supply unit (PSU) is displayed with a yellow/amber icon. What does this visual indicator typically signify?

The component is operating normally

A warning condition that requires attention

The component has failed and requires immediate replacement

A server administrator notices that the BMC dashboard shows the CPU temperature sensor in a yellow warning state, while the fan speed sensors are all showing normal green. The event log shows no recent entries. What should the administrator do first?

Update the BMC firmware to clear the warning

Replace the CPU heatsink immediately

Ignore the warning because the fans are normal

Check the ambient temperature and airflow around the server

Which sensor reading on the BMC dashboard would most directly indicate a failing cooling fan?

Fan speed reading showing a value below the minimum threshold

Power supply reading showing a value above the warning threshold

Voltage reading showing a value within normal range

Temperature reading showing a value within normal range

An administrator notices that CPU temperature readings are rising steadily while fan speeds are also increasing to maximum. What is the most likely correlation?

The server is operating normally and no action is needed

The cooling system is responding to increased heat, but the cause of the heat needs investigation

The temperature sensor is faulty and reporting incorrect values

The power supply is failing and causing the temperature rise
