Proliant ML350p Gen8 Fans Run at Full Speed Ocassionally

[allen1966]

I have a Proliant ML350p Gen8 server.  On occasion, the fans really kick in and run at full speed for about a minute.  This has only happened 3 times in the past 4 months or so.  Is this normal behavior?

depending what kind of load is on the system and CPU's at the time, yes this would probabyl be normal behaviour

No I have not installed fans.  The fans in the server are the ones that were originally installed on the server.
