Back Cooling Fans, New LCD Error Codes - server

Back Cooling Fans Systems manufactured after September 2008 no longer include the four back cooling fans installed in earlier systems. Therefore, BMC version 2.27 does not recognize the presence of back fans. The back fans will still run in older systems; however, from a system perspective, the fans do not exist and are not monitored. As a result, if the back fans fail, the SEL, server management software, and remote access card will not log the error.

Back Cooling Fans
Systems manufactured after September 2008 no longer include the four back
cooling fans installed in earlier systems. Therefore, BMC version 2.27 does not
recognize the presence of back fans. The back fans will still run in older systems;
however, from a system perspective, the fans do not exist and are not monitored.
As a result, if the back fans fail, the SEL, server management software, and
remote access card will not log the error. This change does not compromise the
standard hot plug and redundancy features of the front fans.
