   A data science team runs distributed training on a cluster of PowerEdge XE servers. They notice that training throughput has degraded over the past hour, but no errors are reported. They suspect a bottleneck in one of the servers. Which monitoring approach would best help them identify the specific resource causing the slowdown?

   • ACheck the server's power consumption in iDRAC to see if it has increased due to higher load.
   • BReview iDRAC system event logs for any warning messages about CPU or memory errors.
   • CEnable predictive failure analysis on the server to detect potential hardware failures that could cause slowdowns.
   • DUse OpenManage Enterprise to generate a performance report showing CPU, memory, GPU, and storage utilization over the past hour.

   A financial firm runs a real-time fraud detection model on a PowerEdge XE server. They want to minimize the risk of unexpected hardware failures causing downtime. They have a maintenance window next week. Which action should they take to proactively identify potential hardware failures before they occur?

   • AMonitor CPU and GPU utilization in real time to ensure they are not overloaded.
   • BConfigure iDRAC to send an email alert when the server's power consumption exceeds a threshold.
   • CReview system event logs at the end of each day for any warnings or errors.
   • DEnable predictive failure analysis in iDRAC and review the predicted failure alerts for components like memory and disk.

   A research lab runs a 24/7 AI training workload on a PowerEdge XE server. They have a strict uptime requirement and cannot afford any unplanned downtime. They have noticed that the server's memory utilization is consistently above 90%, and the training job occasionally slows down. They also have a maintenance window next week. What is the best course of action to maintain uptime and address the memory bottleneck?

   • AAdd more memory to the server during the maintenance window to reduce memory pressure.
   • BConfigure iDRAC to send an alert when memory utilization exceeds 90%.
   • CReduce the training batch size to lower memory usage.
   • DEnable predictive failure analysis to detect if memory is about to fail.
