Hi All,
Got 3 Dell R710's in an environment.
Installed an additional HDD into a spare slot, all was good.
Approx 2 days later, the fans went nuts... full speed, constantly.
Take out the new drive, same issue, use repository manager to get all firmwares and drivers up to the current level, same issue.
Put the drive back in, works fine.... but the fans are still going at full tilt either way.
The only helpful post ive been able to find suggests hacking the firmware, which seems a bit extreme.
The front panel reports the system temp at 26 deg... so the system isn't actually trying to cool down from anything, the fan controller just seems to have gone a bit nuts.
Any suggestions ?
