Hi experts:
I just bought a new Intel 1U SR1500AL server with S5000PAL server borad.
System BIOS: S5000.86B.14.00.0099
Build Date 03/09/2010
Board Part No: D13607-802
BMC Firmware Version: 0.55
HSC Firmware Version: 1.41
SDR Version: SDR Package 38
Five cooling fans' speed is too fast. The noise level is very high.
I tried different BIOS settings. But I could not reduce the fan speed.
Can anyone give some advice?
Thanks,
Brian

Did you try to update the FRUSDR ? & then correctly ID your chassis during the update ? The updates are located http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19306&lang=eng here.
There is also http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-022809.htm documentation available to help you out.

All your symptoms point to the BMC being offline.
BMC passes the SMBIOS data & fan speed is controlled by the BMC
To confirm, press the front panel ID button (if you have one) that lights the BLUE LED on the front and rear panel.
If the BMC is out to lunch, it will not come on. You should also have yellow warning LED lit on the frond and back.
To restart the BMC, AC cycle system (and cross fingers) Yellow LED should flash several times and then stop on Green (if all is well)
If still not working the TPS descriibes the force BMC update process which may make things happy again
