I recently purchased a brand new DL320e Gen8 v2 and have installed VMware-ESXi-5.1.0-Update1-1065491-HP-5.50.26 onto the embedded internal microSD slot. There are no internal drives or expansion cards of any type installed. It’s running the latest available iLO and Bios versions.
The fan noise is ridiculously loud with the fan speeds reporting 80-85% most of the time at post and when the OS has booted. I think the temperatures reported all seem quite normal, in the example below the office aircon had been turned off for the weekend so inlet was a little warmer than normal.
I’ve tried a number of different power profiles bios and also checked “Optimal cooling” was ser. Have also tried OS control and static settings with little effect.
I’ve logged a HP case and they are sending somebody to change the motherboard when the parts arrive. Apparently this model is so new there are no spares yet in Australia. I really dubious about it being a hardware fault. Any suggestions ?
Here are the temps and fan speeds from iLO.
