Re: [Linux-PowerEdge] R720XD and X540-AT2 NICs overheating

Hi, No, I haven't. Personally, I think the idea of burning out my fans to fix a poor design really sucks. I'm going to try the "Update BIOS/NIC" first, see how that does for me. If not, we've been setting via racadm if len(thermal_profile) and thermal_profile != 'maximum performance':

Hi, Weren't, shame on me for not checking. Are now. :) (1.X to 2 on BIOS, 14.X to 17.X on Network card) On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 5:17 PM, Cameron Smith wrote: > Are you running the latest firmware for the NICs and the BIOS? > > Cameron > > On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 1:18

Are you running the latest firmware for the NICs and the BIOS? Cameron On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 1:18 PM, Russell Kackley wrote: > Hi Tuc, > > We had what sounds like a similar problem to yours. Fortunately, the > change to the fan speed offset solved the problem for us. Here

Hi Tuc, We had what sounds like a similar problem to yours. Fortunately, the change to the fan speed offset solved the problem for us. Here are the details: We have 3 PE R720 servers that were purchased in mid-2013. All of them have Intel X540/2P I350 rNDC 10 Gb/s NIC's in them. I'm guessing

[Linux-PowerEdge] R720XD and X540-AT2 NICs overheating

Hi, We have an older R720XD (Ship date: September 07, 2012) that has X540-AT2 NICs (10G). The system seems to shut down the NICS for overheating. Apparently, Dell told them just to change the "Thermal Profile" to Max, and the "Fan Speed Offset" to low. That worked for a while, but now its
