How can the event logs on the iDRAC dashboard help in proactive system maintenance?

By revealing patterns of errors that may indicate impending hardware failure

By displaying the server's current power consumption in real time

By providing a direct link to download the latest operating system patches

By automatically replacing failed hardware components

Why is it important to check firmware and driver versions on the iDRAC dashboard?

To enable the server to run multiple operating systems simultaneously

To reduce the server's power consumption

To identify outdated or incompatible components that may cause issues

To increase the server's network bandwidth
