inlet ambient temp sensor

[Chanklish]

hello

i have a proliant ml350 g6 - when booting i see the temperature of the inlet ambient temperature sensor is - 2 degrees celcius !!! i am in africa and i am 100% sure i am not freezing

where is the sensor located and how does it look like? i found nothing in the manual

Hi

I'd check the ilo firmware as it's this that reports the temperature

i used the latest SPP for drivers and firmware updates , please explain what do you mean 

thank you

I have seen in the past bugs in the ilo firmware which have caused incorrect temperature readings.

even though the ml350 G6 doesnt have this kind of SID , i reconnected the cable coming from the small board behind the power button to the board and the temp is now correct
