1611 - CPU Fan Failure

[P-Dicky]

Hello

I am getting the message on a Proliant PL1600r. The main fan in the CPU enclosure had failed. I replaced the fan (both are the exact same including pin config and amps). However the server still boots to this message. I know the board has a thermal sensor that may be causing this error (I don't think that is the case as the fan had stopped working) but I don't know how to get around this error?

The error message does appear before I can get into the BIOS (F12 right?). Do I have to boot off of setup CD's in order to shut this sensor down? Any tips would be great!

Thanks All

P.S. in order to enter into BIOS (System Configuration Utility) on Proliant 1600 - press "F10" or use Smartstart 5.50 CD

I looked at that board and then looked again and again for that second fan connection. Anyways I guess I was looking with my mouth.

Got it, thanks.
