Excessive Noise From Chassis Fans; Server Alarm Ringing - Inspur NF5260FM6 User Manual

8.1.7 Excessive Noise from Chassis Fans

Description:
The chassis fans made excessive noise when the server was running properly.
Handling suggestion:
a. Check if there is any alarm from the fan fault LEDs or other status LEDs on
the front panel of the server. Besides, check if the top chassis cover is
closed and the air director has not been used.
b. Learn about the sensor temperature through physical contact or the BMC
Web GUI. Check if the noise is caused by overly high fan speed due to
overheated server chassis.
c. If the server chassis is overheating, check if the computer room is in high
temperature. If the temperature in the computer room is too high, you
need to lower it by adjusting the air-conditioning until the server returns to
the normal operating temperature.
d. If the computer room is in proper temperature, check if the front baffle or
chassis interior is clogged with dust and the air inlets are blocked, leading
to chassis overheating. If so, clear the dust with a piece of dry and soft
cloth or a dedicated brush, and improve the environment in the computer
room, avoiding overheated operation of the server due to too much dust.
e. Check if the server is running with a high load. And log in to the BMC Web
GUI to view if all the fans are identified properly and in automatic control.
f. If none of the preceding operations can resolve the problem, call Global
Service Hotline 1-844-860-0011 (toll-free)/1-760-769-1847 (DID) or email
us at serversupport@inspur.com.

8.1.8 Server Alarm Ringing

Description:
The alarm rang when the server booted or was running.
Handling suggestion:
You need to determine the source of alarm sounds:
a. If the alarm sounds come from the power module, check if the power
module LED on the rear window of the server is abnormal. If it is, see
Situation 1: Power Module LED Not Lit or Turning Red in the No Power
Upon Boot section for reference.
b. If the alarm sounds come from the inside of the chassis, you need to
identify the source by opening the chassis.
