HP Proliant ML350 G6 temperatures

[jester_ro]

Hello,

Recently i've started to manage the server from the subject.

After a few days of running fine, today the server was found stopped, for no apparent reason.

There's nothing in the logs. The server recently got an upgrade, from 1 CPU and 32 GB of ram to 2 CPU's and 64 GB of ram.

CPU's are Xeons E5520. The server was also fitted with system fan 3, which was removed because it woudn't power with it connected while using only one CPU.

What i've noticed is that one of the System Zone temperatures is very high.

Temp 22:    System Zone     Ok     83C     Caution: 110C; Critical:115C

The server is in a data-room, with constant temperature. Ambient zone is around 20-21C, as reported by ILo.

It has 2 PSU's, and according to ILo all system fans run at 13 or 14%.

As i said, i have found no evidence in the logs that the server shut down due to exceeding any temperature threshold, but i find the above 83C temperature too high for my likings. Is it normal with this server? I see the critical/warning temps for that sensors are pretty high.

I'll post the entire ILo temperature table here, maybe someone more experienced will find something else to ring any bells.
