   A BMC dashboard shows a CPU temperature sensor reading of 85°C. The sensor's warning threshold is 80°C and its critical threshold is 90°C. What does this reading indicate?

   • AThe temperature is at the critical threshold and requires immediate shutdown
   • BThe temperature is within normal operating range
   • CThe temperature is above the warning threshold but below the critical threshold
   • DThe sensor is faulty because the reading is too high

   A server administrator needs to check the health of a PowerEdge XE server that is powered off but still connected to power. Which tool allows this check?

   • AThe BMC dashboard, because it operates independently of the server's power state
   • BA remote desktop session to the server, because it provides hardware status
   • CThe server's BIOS setup utility, because it displays live sensor data
   • DThe operating system's event viewer, because it logs all hardware events
