ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 is noisy

[Oscar A. Perez]

Hi Norby,

56% FAN speed is a lot more than the 29% that I'm getting with my unit.

Have you tried going into the ROM setup and selecting "Optimal Cooling"?  Go to Advanced Options->Thermal Configuration.

Also that pic showing the temperature graph looks very different than mine.

Quick update: This is the same issue that affected the Microserver Gen8 (solved with a new ROM).

I'm contacting the ML310e team to get a solution for this model.

Yes, it's set to 'Optimal'. It was the default, the only thing I set was AHCI mode. I use the not-supported Debian, with software RAID.

Good news :)
Thanks.

Any progress?

Hi Norby,

Sorry, I confused this platform with the ML310e Gen8 V2.

The DL320e team has told me that they have addressed the FAN issue on a new P80 ROM dated 11/08/2013.   This ROM will be released with the new SPP next week.  If you would like to give it a try, I've uploaded the binaries to my temp FTP site.

Is there a new BIOS for the ML310e Gen8 V2 too?

[norby]

This will be the first thing tomorrow in the office!

[norby]

it WORKS!

It has a little noise, but it's acceptable.

Thank you very much!

Btw, it is really from 2013.11 ?

Hi,

We bought 3 of the dl320e last year,

2 weeks ago one of them started going very noisy,

I called  hp support and they said i should upgrade the firmware of the controller,

The newest firmware was already in place,

So i started updating everything else,

I have spent more than a day to find any possible update for that server,

Unfortunately at this point the  server is going 100% with the fans,

The noise is unbearable,

It seems that HP doesnt have a solution for this,

Anyone ? ? ? ? ? ? 

I have followed a couple of the solutions that hp suggested but still nothing,

Pls someone help me,
