Help Please: Problem with the DELL 1850 PowerEdge: 4 Fans running at full tilt !!
1: The server arrived and I unpacked it, and looked it over, and it seemed OK.
2: I installed a CD-Rom-drive, without any problem.
...(this involved removing the large top cover, so I also looked around inside to see if there was anything obviously loose, and all seemed ok)
3: I plugged in the server: And the sound of the 4 fans could be heard.
4: I switched on the server, and it sounded like Concord taking off:
...as all 4 fans seemed to be running at maximum speed !
...And the 'amber system status indicator' (to the left of the right-hand HDD) was flashing (indicating a fault !)
5: I was able to install the OS, but the fans continue to run at full tilt when the server is powered up !
Help Please !
