DL380 G5 cpu fan behaviour
I replaced fan 10 and rebooted the server. No change in noise levels - still very loud. On checking IML again, this time fan 11 lists as "failed".
On replacing fan 11 (hot-swap this time) the system quietened down for a few seconds and then started speeding up, showing 7-12 amber on the insight display, then slowing down again, with the ambers all going out. 2 seconds later it all starts again.
After a few rounds of this, one of the fans shows as "failed". It doesn't matter if I replace this "failed" fan, it always shows the same behaviour.
Is this a problem with the fan board? Is there a sensor that might need to be changed/cleaned/replaced?
The server is, sadly, out of warranty.
In the IML:
Repaired Environment 06/23/2010 07:37 06/23/2010 07:37 1 Fan Failure (Fan 12, Location CPU)
Critical Environment 06/23/2010 07:37 06/23/2010 07:37 1 Fan Failure (Fan 11, Location CPU)

Thanks for any help.

Re: DL380 G5 cpu fan behaviour
When rebooting, I sometimes get fan failures and sometimes the server fails to start due to this. The fans all seem to be working just fine.
I have tried pulling the power lead for 30 seconds to no effect. The server is up now but is still running the fans at full speed as it thinks one of them has failed.
Any other clues/suggestions very much appreciated...

Re: DL380 G5 cpu fan behaviour
It seems like the fans spin down a bit too far, as if the speed has dropped too much.
Are there any other diagnostics I can use?
