DL585 G1 - Fan Noise!

bugthing — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 11:08:24 GMT

Hello,

I have a DL585 G1.

I am runnning Debian Lenny on it

The fans are very VERY noisy and I can't seem to slow them down.

I have set them to 'normal' and am running the latest BIOs update.

Can anyone point me toward some resource that might help me??

Many thanks,
-Ben

On many of the older ProLiant servers, the fans were controlled by the health driver. Try loading the PSP for Debian

I had the same fan noisy issue, well it was running fine we asked HP Engineer to check, there was some issue with FAN and he replaced it.
May be best is to rasie a hardware case.

I should have phrased my original response a bit different, as the health driver can control the fans in all ProLiant servers

By default on many of the older model ProLiant servers the fans were in high speed mode. Loading the health driver would slow them down.

thanks for the pointer.. it has fixed a few compaints about missing mods... but sadly it has not slowed the fans.

thanks anyway
