BL460c G8 virtual fan 48%

Hello,

I've juste changed my ESX servers. The old ones were Gen 7 and virtual fans were at 25%.

On Gen8, virtual fans are at 47% and make lots of noises!

My office is right next to the server room: (

Do you know why?

Thank you :)

Dear Siegfried MARECHAL

As per your given information, I can understand that you are suffering from the loud noise which can be creating after BL460c Gen8 server installation on you blade enclosure.. Please note that before use upgraded genaration server you have to upgrade firmware for your blade enclosure, next installed and earlier installed server latest firmware to make balance between old and newer device.

Hope, I could provide you with clear and helpful instructions. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help!

Have a great day!!
