However, resetting the OA may cause the chassis fans to temporarily go to 100% speed while the OA is restarting. This may be a bit disconcerting if you don't expect it... especially if you stand right behind the chassis at the time!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>(Hmm... perhaps a "Caution: Jet Blast" sign would be appropriate for c7000 blade racks? :-)</P> Mon, 05 Mar 2012 23:00:00 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/c3000-c7000-password-recovery/m-p/5573677#M18267 Matti_Kurkela 2012-03-05T23:00:00Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/c3000-c7000-password-recovery/m-p/5575987#M18276 <P>Thanks, Matti.&nbsp; The password recovery went off without a hitch.&nbsp; ...Jim</P> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:16:13 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/c3000-c7000-password-recovery/m-p/5575987#M18276 Jim Boyt 2012-03-07T12:16:13Z
