ProLiant ML150 G6, 2nd CPU

[WesleySteele]

Hi, I upgraded our HP ProLiant ML150 G6 with a 2nd CPU.

When the server is booted up it picks up the 2nd CPU and the additional RAM, but then I get the following error:

"Fan or inlet ambient sensor detect fialed and prepare to shutdown"

Any help would be appreciated.

hi wesley,

I think the additional processor is causing too much heat in this system. It can only operate at temperatures of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C).

I advise installing the optional fan kit, HP part number 513927-B21. Here is a link to the product:

good luck, if you appreciate the answers we appreciate the points!

Thanks for the reply WFH-WI.

I have concluded that the error message was shown because the System Fan1 was absent. I only had the System Fan3 and the exhaust fan installed and apparently when installing the 2nd CPU it requires the additional fan.

I have placed an order for part 519737-001 which is hopefully the correct fan and would sort out this issue.

Regards,
Wesley

Just to give a quick update.

I have received the System Fan 1 (PN 519737-001). After installing it the server booted up fine and everything is working 100%.
