Hi, I just wanted to inform everyone who is using HP ProLiant GL360 G3, that we had some trouble with one of the latest system we got: HP changed the BIOS such that fans will operate more silently. As a side effect, our SMP-system crashed after some time due to thermal problems. For Linux and other supported systems, additional tools exist to control the fan speed from OS-level. I consider this a very bad idea... For a short term solution, downgrading the bios (file SP23587.exe, 1107177 bytes) did help here (at least uptime is now more than 5 hours). For a long term solution complaining at HP might help. Regards, Holger Kipp
