Proliant DL360 Gen 11 - Fan Speed too high

Hi there, 
My Server has "optimal" Fan Speed setting in ILO6, 
but always runs at 52% too high and loud. 
All temperatures are low. 
Any suggestions?

Hi @vipusr ,

I hope this helps!

Please try this steps

  • Install the System ROM 2.44,  available for download here. Update affected servers with this System ROM version to eliminate the problem.
  • Update firmware and drivers to the latest SPP , version 2024.04.00
  • In some systems with fewer than 8 drives, the fans may run at lower speeds/noise when separating the drives, increasing the distance between them helps with cooling, thus lowers the fan speeds. For example: with 4 drives, instead of installing drives in slots 1-4 try installing in slots 1,4,6,8. In a 12-drive configuration, instead of Box1 Bay 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Box2 Bay 1,2,3,4 try Box1 Bay 1,2,4,5,7,8 Box2 Bay 1,2,4,5,7,8.
  • At the customer's own discretion, use the iLO GUI to change the minimum fan speed in 5% increments to see what is tolerable for their environment. (In the iLO GUI, Under Power & Thermals, set "Minimum Fan Speed".)
  • If noise is a major concern, consider configuring the system with SATA SSD drives. These drives can operate with around 13% duty cycle, with very low noise levels.

Updating to 2.44 solved the problem.
No more configs needed.
(SSD Drives were already used)
