We use 2 Fan. Tried with upgrade ILO firmware, but not successfull. Fan1 that connected to fan connector 1 is really noisy , tried to move to fan1 to fan connector 3 and fan1 operate normally. But cause error&nbsp;<SPAN>1611 - CPU Fan Failure when booting, but I'm sure that fan operated normally , it spin.&nbsp;<BR />My question why I can't move fan1 to connected to fan connector 3, and cause the server shutdown.</SPAN></P> Wed, 31 Oct 2018 02:29:40 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/change-fan-to-another-fan-connector/m-p/7023816#M164467 andreast 2018-10-31T02:29:40Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/change-fan-to-another-fan-connector/m-p/7023850#M164470 <P>The Servers have a special designed Airflow inside.</P><P>To reach the needed Airflow design, the propper installed Fan positions are checked.</P><P><SPAN class="short_text"><SPAN>I would recommend</SPAN></SPAN> to buy the additional two Fans, they are cheap.</P><P>This give you redundancy and lower the Fan Speeds.</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 31 Oct 2018 09:09:28 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/change-fan-to-another-fan-connector/m-p/7023850#M164470 Cali 2018-10-31T09:09:28Z
