Occasionally Dell R710 PSU fans will reach 100% resulting in an increase in noise.

Often the only 'fix' is to:

  • clear all alerts in the logs
  • power off the server
  • disconnect power and network cables
  • unseat the PSU
  • power drain the chassis (hold power for 10+ seconds)
  • re-seat PSU
  • re-connect power and network cables - Sometimes waiting a few (2-3) minutes before re-connecting all cables is required.
  • power on
