HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
Been configuring a new ML350e Gen8 Server.
Updated the iLo and BIOS to the latest version and have installed a FAN Kit so that I have four fans in the Server.
The fan noise form this Server is very loud and at present while I'm working on it I have had to put it a cupboard to try and reduce the noise in the office as it just too load to work in the same room as it.
Is there anyway of reducing this noise ?
I have seen this problem before on other Servers and the iLo and BIOS updates have usually fixed this problem, but not in this case.
Thanks.

Re: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
Same problem with ML350p Gen8.
The server is in an air conditioned room, has three fans and all BIOS/Firmware upgrades but the customer is complaining about the noise. When idle is seems to have a hum but often the fans rev up a bit making it even louder.
System has 64GB Ram, 8 x 10K SAS drives and the CPU rarely goes above 10% usage. The previous server was an ML350 Gen5 with 8GB Ram and 6 x 10K SAS drives and hardly makes any noise at all.

Re: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
Hi
I have the same problem on my ML350e Gen 8. But i have no additional Fans installed. Would it be better if i install the two additional Fans?

Re: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
Hello
I am having this same issue. Fans are running at %100 all the time with not load on the server. BIOS and iLO updates did
not fix. Has anyone found a solution to this issue?

Re: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
I have the same problem with my ML350e Gen8. I am running Redhat Ent 6.2, and I I have installed all of the Linux drivers in the SPP. I can monitor the status of the fans from both the command line and the ILO interface. I have two fans and they are running at 50% -- sounds like a vacuum cleaner sitting next to me.
If I install Windows the fans go silent (10% speed). If I boot into the Smart Controller Utility (which appears to be running an embedded Linux) the fans go silent (10% speed).
I don't understand why my fans constantly run at the higher speed when I have RHEL6 installed with the latest SPP drivers. The server temps are not elevated.
I need to get this server running, preferrably on Linux, but I can't have the constant fan noise in my work environment.
Any solutions or clues that I can pursue?

HelRe: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
Hello
I found a Solution for my Server.
I removed all additional PCI-E Cards and build in the Redundancy Kit (with additional Fans) for this Server. After that the Speed of the Fans reduces the speed to 7%.

Re: HelRe: HP ML350e Gen8 Fan Noise
I have the same problem... the server has been running for a little more than a month...
And today I did a full Windows server backup and installed a Startech USB 3.0 PCIe card, the server is still running fine after this part.
After I installed the PDF convertor 8 and Office 2013... and a restart... it is still fine...
But after a while... the fan start acting up, it is running up and down which is very annoying, I am totally fine if it is running in a constant speed(with noise).
Most importantly, the cpu usage is less than 5% all the time, it is jumping between 0-4%.
I am just glad that I am not the only one who has this problem... because I usually have bad luck with me...
EDIT:
A HP rep. get back to me within 1 hour after I submit the request, but... he recommends to remove the StarTech's PCIe card...
I will wait until Wednesday and see...
