Summary
Troubleshooting steps for noisy fans issue on Intel® Server Board S2600WFT and Intel® Server Board S2600ST
Description
Server is working fine and suddenly encountered noisy fan issue. Restarting the server doesn't help and had to completely power cycle to temporarily fix the issue.
Resolution
- Clean any dust on the chassis/fan and reseat the fans that are running at full speed.
- Plug the server directly into the wall socket
- Reseat the power supplies and ensure that they are firmly installed.
- Since the Firmware is updated to its latest version and suddenly encountered a noisy fan issue, reupdate it but do it manually. Download the package from Intel® Server Board S2600WF Family BIOS and Firmware Update Package for UEFI or Intel® Server Board S2600ST Family BIOS and Firmware Update Package for UEFI.
