Hy. Here I'm using Dell R440 server. There is no internet connectivity but connected with internal networking. Some days ago server making noise so load I checked and found fans are running very high speed. Server checked by repairing department they said fan defective. But here some different problem can you guide me.

Hi,

Please check these below steps. If there is no hardware issue on fans running speed can return to normal. 

Ensure that the following conditions exist:

  •  System cover, cooling shroud, EMI filler panel, or back filler bracket is not removed.
  •  Ambient temperature is not higher than the system-specific ambient temperature.
  • External airflow is not obstructed.
  • A cooling fan is not removed or has not failed.
  • The expansion card installation guidelines have been followed.
  • If there is unsupported hardware in the server

Sometimes some problems on the iDRAC can cause the Fans to run high speed. You can do iDRAC soft reset for this.https://dell.to/33ulC2i

 

Also iDRAC firmware versions are very decisive in fan operation. Please check for iDRAC and BIOS updates. https://dell.to/357Q9Dn

 

When do you have downtime for the server you can do flea power drain https://dell.to/3hcQmIB

 

 

Hope that helps!
