FAN making loud noise on DL 380p G8


Good day All,

Welcome back!!! We have a HP server in remote location which started to make loud noise..even though the Server was stable.

We opened a case with Vendor following troubleshooting steps was done

1. Asked us to update the Firmware drivers and we used June HP SPP
2. Still the same issue, so replace System Board same issue still no luck,
3.Suggested to upgrade to Oct HP SPP still same issue
4. We decided to come with 2 plans , replace again System Board,Fan if still issue then start pulling out the PCI cards each one at a time and test the Fan.

Well guess what after replacing the System Board the issue got fixed, now the big question is we did the same in Step 2 why it didn't fix the issue that time..
Vendor didn't have any answers but our thoughts is that usually System Board sit in warehouse for quite sometime and when then come they come with no update Firmware or drivers or it was not been tested before..

Hope this helps someone!!!!
