Question

katy is a it engineer who is responsible for maintaining the environment in her company data center in san francisco. while swapping motherboards in a server in the data center, she notices that the original motherboard is showing signs of corrosion. which of the following is the best solution to resolve the corrosion issue?

replace motherboards in the servers more frequently.
decrease the humidity in the data center.
check and clean all corroded server motherboards.
run a diagnostic check on all servers to make sure they are functioning properly.

Explanation:

Corrosion in server motherboards is often caused by high humidity, as moisture can lead to rust and other forms of corrosion. Decreasing the humidity in the data center addresses the root cause of the corrosion issue. Replacing motherboards more frequently (first option) is a costly workaround, not a solution to the root cause. Checking and cleaning corroded motherboards (third option) deals with existing corrosion but doesn't prevent future corrosion. Running a diagnostic check (fourth option) checks server functionality, not the corrosion cause. So the best solution is to decrease humidity.

Answer:

B. Decrease the humidity in the data center.
