A technician notices a server that contains four fans is now louder than normal even though the temperature in the room has not changed and the load on the server has not increased. Which of the following is most likely the cause of the noise?
A sudden increase in fan noise without any changes in temperature or server workload is typically due to a defective fan.
If one fan fails, the remaining fans will automatically increase their speed to compensate for the loss, leading to increased noise levels.
Servers use intelligent fan control systems, which monitor temperature and fan health. If a fan stops functioning properly, the others will ramp up to maintain adequate cooling.
This issue can be resolved by inspecting and replacing the defective fan to restore normal cooling operation.
