1611 - Fan 2 Failure Detected

[Topline]

This is on a DL380 running Windows 2003 Server. I replaced this fan with a brand new one and it still shows in a failed state visually and logically. I tried another new fan as well as another known working one from a different slot...same result, failed. Also did a reboot of the system, failed.

This condition exists on another DL380 in my cluster too...is there a system board issue present in these models?

Could you provide the generation of the server in question?
There has been some issues with firmware for the DL38x series regarding fans...
Regards,

My apologies...This issue is happening on my G3 series DL380.

If you are already running DL380 G3 BIOS dated 2004-09-15, please consider replacing the system board.
