Is this the fan that shipped with everyone's unit? Also what's the average decibel for one node? I pulled the new fan (2) out and it now sounds normal to me. The new fan might be bad. Any recommendations on a replacement?

Has anyone had this experience with their unit?
After I powered on my server earlier in the week, I noticed that the green/amber lights were alternating. I logged into the management console and checked the health.
I found this message:

Lucky for me, my seller sent me a replacement board. I thought that was very nice of them since I was out of the 30 day warranty.
HOWEVER, I'm absolutely shocked that no one has mentioned any direct complaints to Dell about why going into the IPMI settings to change from DHCP to static bricks...
My 30 day warranty ended 5 days ago. Has anyone heard of recovery a dead board using bootstrap? I'm doing some more research on this but it looks like the C1100 can be recovered with this undocumented feature. Hopefully, the same can be done for the C6100.
Well, I tried reflashing the BMC with the socflash tool and it looks like I bricked the board itself. I'm not getting any video or power LED but I hear the fans spin up when I push the power button. I can't find anything online on how to revive the board so I'll be looking for a new board on ebay.
Also, I'm reading about people running into issues after setting up the IPMI through the BIOS so what is the best way to configure IPMI and remote management?
Has anyone run into this error during startup? "Error: BMC not responding, F1 to continue". I just started using one of the nodes last night and found this error message. The error doesn't seem to be affecting anything though. I was able to install server 2012 without any issues. The server...
Well, I have 4 of these server (Super Micro branded) at work and they do scream, even after the initial jet sounding engine. This guy sitting on my kitchen island is very quite. Granted I haven't installed anything on it yet but I expected it to be very loud. At it's current db, it will do just...
That's exactly what the problem was. I moved the PSU up and the amber/green flashing lights stopped. Hopefully, this will help others.
Thanks for the help.
Mine was also shipped with the PSU in the bottom slot. I will move it when I get home.
One other thing I noticed is that the server spins up like a jet when I first turn it on but then within a few seconds, it sounds like a 1U. I expected it to sound like a jet on idle. I can use my cell phone...
