    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    Thanks, I did not see that option to pick the port, I may just add a switch to get more ethernet ports. I've placed it in the garage for now which I recently hard wired. Another quick question, it shows there is an Advanced iLo License already in place when I went to licensing section. Is...

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    One quick question, to use the 'Shared Network Port' iLo feature, in which port would I put in the ethernet cable? Now, that feature will split the functionality so my server has continuous internet access and I still am able to access iLo using the IP I assigned within that setup? thanks

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    haha - thanks That makes sense, I think I will try to sell that card. The hard drive that has failed, seems like the vendor from whom I bought would be able to replace.

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    :) I think I may just sell it, I am not sure why it was causing fans to spin at a higher capacity, would there be any sort of driving missing at start up? Plus I never detected it during the Array controller, etc. nor in Windows. My other question is if you see the error log I uploaded for...

I opened the cover, saw the PCI-E riser slot and noticed a light blinking in the back, powered down everything unplugged. Took out the PCI-E Rise and see there is a...

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    I checked the back side of the server don't see any extra plate there. I got iLo working by plugging in another ethernet cable, I was hoping one would work for both features but not sure if that is possible. Anyways here is a screen shot of the fan readings. I'm not sure what else to check to...

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    Based on this response in the threads, which I greatly appreciate, just realized I can setup iLo, just need to figure out how. Now, in regards to the SmartTest bootable DVD by HP, I ran the quick diagnostic and at the moment am running the full one which is taking long. I did see a orange...

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    Do I need a license for ilo? I never could figure out how that works, as whenever I tried to look into it seems i need a license. I am going to open the case again tomorrow to see what cards there are, need to review the manual to see where are the PCI slots. I think there is one PCI slot...

    HP DL380 G7 Fan Noise

    Hi - I just bought a fully loaded used HP DL380 G7 from working environment. Now, this system looks brand new, but the problem I notice is when I boot till I launch my OS (Windows Server 2012) the fan noise is the same. I have a DL380 G6 and it is quieter than this machine. I mean the DL380...
