I have a S3420GP board and SC5650 server chassis. After upgrading to the latest BIOS in order to support over 2TB hard drives, at system idle my system fans now alternate between full speed and minimum speed, with no speed variations in between. (Before the BIOS upgrade, they worked as expected based on work load). The SEL does not show any fan failures that would justify running full speed. Any guidance here would be appreciated.
