I have SuperMicro system (I think SS-AMZ1BA02) with s2600cp board installed. My fans are running at 100% all the time, and that's very annoying. I've tried a lot of different things to battle that, but doesn't seem to help much. The fact that I bought this server used doesn't help either...
I downloaded latest firmware package from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25956/Intel-Server-Board-S2600CP-Family-Firmware-update-package-for-IDA-OFU-and-WinPE-. Flashed all pieces. While flashing BMC firmware, fans slowed down for a second, then spun up again. When uploading new SDR, they slowed down for a few more seconds, and then spun up. When booting up, fans start slow, but after about 5 seconds spin up at 100%. In the logs, I see this event:
| 1202 | 05/14/2016-16:54:31 | Management Subsystem Health,BMC FW Health (#0x10) | Warning event: BMC FW Health reports the sensor has failed and may not be providing a valid reading. | Integrated BMC - LUN#0 (Channel#0) |
I'm assuming that it's the reason it is defaulting to fail-safe 100% power mode. But reflashing BMC firmware does not help with that.
I've ran syscfg tool to get debug logs, but I can't open them, because of the password (attaching them anyways). Also attaching log files from sysinfo tool.
Any suggestions as to what I can try next to calm those turbines down?
