Thanks Josh, we got it all resolved. Issue 1: Fan speed at idle is around 50% speed. BIOS: 1.1.4, Firmware: 2.22.22.22, Lifecycle Controller: 2.22.22.22 Resolution: update BIOS to 1.2.5 & update firmware to 2.30.30.30 **************************************** Issue 2: Server freeze at installation screen of ESXi 5.1U3 (Dell version). Resolution: PowerEdge R230 supports ESXi 5.5 and above, previous versions are not supported. We installed ESXi 6.0U2 (Dell version) and all went smooth.
Greetings all, I've a brand new server with weird behavior, which I'm not sure about. Once we started the server, fans speed is high then seattled at around 8000 RPM. Is this normal fan speed for R230 at idle stage? We tried installing VMWare ESXi but server goes no response. We tried also to install normal Windows 7 as a test if it is server issue or ESXi USB installer issue, same no response at initial screen of installation.
