Hi
I thought I would put down what I did to fix the issue in case it helps anyone else out there.
I had a DL 365 that would not boot up saying fan failure (fan 3) and then the server would shut it self down after 5 seconds to protect itself. However the fan was working and spinning fine wihout any issue.
I tried everything to get the server working, replaced the fan, moved the fan to another cleaned the connectors and pressed down firmly on all the pins next to each fan.
The solution for me was to replace the system board. Someone suggested maybe reseting the BIOS or taking out and putting back the CMOS battery would clear any error messages. Any one have any thoughts on that?
