ML110 G5 CPU E2160: fan permanently full speed

[Pasquale Pellicano']

Nothing :)

I think that the CPU isn't correctly recognized by bios... :(

Hey!

Did you manage to get any of the drivers on?

What OS are you running?

Why would the CPU not be recognized properly? Do you see any hints of that besides the fan not spinning down?

Hi,
I'm running Windows Server 2003 Standard.

I think the problem is the Bios.
In Bios setup - IPMI - Realtime sensor data the parameter of CPU Temp is:
CPU0 diode: N/A
CPU0 dmn 0temp: 30 degrees C
CPU0 dmn 1temp: N/A
CPU0 Prochot: Limit Not Exceeded
CPU0 VRD Hot: Limit Not Exceeded

Drivers??

Only thing you can do about the bios is to clear cmos, do changes in the setup or upgrade/ downgrade. Or have we missed something?
Does that ipmi look different elsewhere?

Hi,
how i can clear cmos?
There's a jumper or only with bios setup options?
I tried all the other things (upgrade/downgrade bios firmware and changes setups)... :(

At this point I think is the motherboard.
In the afternoon I contact HP Support and/or the vendor to require the server replacement.

Thanx to all!

See the ML110 G5 Service and Maintenance Guide page 70 and 71 to clear the CMOS.

Dear Aftab,
I recently contacted HP Support.
They have suggested me to install the following updates:
1. cp014221.exe: BIOS - System ROM Version: 2010.10.25 (13 Dec 2010)
2. SP49103.exe: Firmware Upgrade for HP ProLiant ML110 G5 Lights-Out 100 Remote Management (For USB Key-Media)

...the same procedure that yesterday you had shown me.
Today it worked!
Sorry but I did some wrong step :(

Thanx thanx thanx,
Pasq

[Johan Guldmyr]

wow - so even if you don't have the iLO card you should install that ilo upgrade? that's interesting :)

[Pasquale Pellicano']

Yes Johan and now the fan go slowly and silent :)
The ILO isn't present!
The version of ILO's firmware was 3.05 and now, after update, is 3.20B
Maybe the bios includes part of the ILO's firmware... Boh

Thanx to All!

The ilo 100 is part of the system board. The only optional part of the ilo is the remote management board which adds the remote management functionality.
