Explanation
After a power outage, HVAC and cooling systems in a server room may have been offline for a period of time, causing server room temperatures to rise. Even after power is restored and servers come back online, the room temperature may still be elevated, triggering a temperature alarm on environmental monitoring systems or on the servers themselves. A humidity alarm could be plausible after a rainstorm, but temperature issues from cooling disruption are a more common consequence of power outages. A PSU alarm was ruled out since the backup power unit is functioning without errors. A motion alarm would not be triggered by a power event.
