Dell PowerEdge R410 Noisy Fan - FIXED!

This is a very brief blog entry and is aimed at my fellow geeks out there on t'internet (Peter Kay reference).

Recently we have been working on a number of Dell PowerEdge r410 servers which had very noisy fans. The fans were so loud that it wasn't pleasant to be in the same office as them.

Something had to be done to fix this problem before they drove us all mad.

Thankfully we found a very simple and effective fix for this noisy fan problem............

Head over to the Dell website and locate the R410 in the support area.

Once your on the drivers page, download the latest BIOS and the latest firmware for the management card.

Download and then install the latest BIOS. Reboot the server.

After that install the latest firmware for the management card and reboot again.

You should now find that the fans are much quieter, not silent, just quieter!!!

Thanks for reading our support article on the Dell PowerEdge R410 Noisy Fan problem.
