CPU Fan replacement

Hi All,
We have a Sun fire V210 server, Now we are facing the issue with CPU fan we have a spare CPU fan of Sun fire V240.So just want a confirmation tat **can we use the spare fan of V240 into V210 ?**
Pls find the log of V210 server

can we use the spare fan of V240 into V210 ?The V210 is a 1-U rackmount system.
The V240 is a 2-U version of essentially the same design.
Confirm it for yourself that the parts are interchangeable:
Take the cover off both systems. Position them side-by-side.
Look at the paper label on both fans. (on the fan, not on the entire CPU/fan assembly)
That will be the fan part number. All you would care about is the first seven numbers of whatever that part number might be. I predict they'll be the same. If those systems happen to be the same CPU speed, it may actually be easier to exchange the entire CPU/heatsink/fan assembly.
Here is the link to the V210 system documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19088-01/v210.srvr/index.html
Gere is the link to the V240 system documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19088-01/v240.srvr/index.html
You can find the service manual for each system at those links.
You probably should have gone there first before posting to an anonymous user-to-user discussion forum. Reading The Fine Manuals from the actual product manufacturer is always going to give you more accurate information.
Sinve you are asking this question in a forum, we will presume that both systems lack any coverage by a service contract. Therefore you can do anything you want to do. If you still maintain any legacy service contract coverage on the V210, do NOT do this yourself. Log a SR with support instead.

  • Quicksilver cpu fan replacement question

    Hi,
    I have 2001 quicksilver 867. The cpu fan had stopped moving. I got it going again by taking it out and moving the fins around, but i'm looking for a replacement.
    I found the "OEM" versions but the idea of spending $60 for a fan isn't that appealing.
    So i'm considering just getting a standard 3 pin fan, and using an adapter to make it 2 pins.
    I was thinking of getting this fan:
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?mainpage=product_info&cPath=51&productsid=133
    and I noticed they have several "2 pin" fan adapters here:
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=289&main_page=index
    So my questions are:
    (1) Will that fan above work well enough for the quicksilver cpu?
    (2) Do you know which 2 pin adapter would fit the logic board, as they have several types. Type A would be my guess but it's hard to tell from the small pictures.
    Thanks!
    David Kiley

    I would remove the fan and take it to a local PC store. You should be able to find a reasonably priced replacement at most PC parts retailers.

  • HP Pavillion 2112-SA, No sound after CPU fan assembly replacement.

    Hello people,
    I have been working on a Pavillion 2112-sa running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The original problem was a noisy CPU fan. TL;DR I replaced it with w genuine HP spare. Worked perfectly (the new fan that is...).
    However.
    Under closer inspection, no sound output. To clarify, sound devices are present and associated drivers are "working", sound mixer shows sounds are being played, but nothing comes out of the internal speakers, OR any external speaker I plug into front jacks.
    Things I have tried:
    - I have replaced the internal speaker, which did not help.
    - I have booted up a copy of Linux (Mint) to see if it is a windows issue, but still got no sound.
    - I have tried reinstalling all audio devices/drivers using the software availble on the HP support website.
    - I have updated and defaulted the BIOS
    - I have checked, double checked and triple checked all connections on the motherboard internally, and can confirm is all as should be. (reference user manuals and other online media)
    The only thing I can think of is that there is some sort of critical board fault, either caused by the original compromised CPU fan, and therefore perhaps heat damage or ESD damage as I have been wearing an anti-static band when handling the internal components of the laptop, but wont rule it out as a possibility!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Jowsh_EPC,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    The first thing I would like to do, is thank you for the in-depth detail of your post with all of the information provided.
    You are correct,  in your thought line of the issue being hardware. I would also be looking towards a critical failure with the motherboard, based on the troubleshooting you've already tried.
    Unfortunately, the only option for this would be replacing the board or contacting support to see what replacement options are available to you. I do apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused you.

  • I'm getting a Plugged in, not charging message after replacing the CPU fan

    I just replaced the CPU fan on this notebook last night and finished it today. Its running perfectly at the moment.
    The problem is the windows Task bar on my desktop says "Plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery indicator there. I've tried many things to fix it, from uninstalling or disabling the drivers for the devices involved (the ACPI battery and AC adapter) under Windows' device manager, to swapping out with my spare battery.
    I've also switched power plans on the off chance that could have been causing some kind of battery charging setting. This did not fix it. The AC adapter works. I've been running this notebook for about two hours now searching for a solution, it just won't charge the battery. I've not tried observed it enough but I believe it will charge while powered off, but not while on. The orange LED indicator by the AC adapter port glows when the machine is off, indicating that it is charging.
    I have a feeling the whole "uninstall device drivers for the battery devices" idea is a thing of the past. Everything I found which suggested doing that also mentioned Windows Vista, which at this point in time is a relic (July 2015). When I was replacing the CPU fan, it did get frustrating at times but everything is intact apart from some case clips and a few other plastic case parts. I have reason to believe everything is connected too because its still powered on, meaning its getting power, but it isn't going in to the battery.
    Symptom summary:
    Batteries: OKAC Adapter: OK
    MOBO: PROBABLY OK
    ME: NOT OK   xD

    Hey srkv121,
        welcome to the forums
    On
    1. Optimized battery run time, the energy managment completely charges the battery to ensure maximum battery performance
    2. On best battery health, energy management charges only 50% of the battery, it ensures maximum battery life but not performance
    hope this helps

  • Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

    I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
    I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
    Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

    "Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
    This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
    Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
    First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
    Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
    I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
    oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
    You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
    repair!
    Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
    to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
    Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"
    End Quote.
    Edit - Additional Info
    The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

  • HP P6203W CPU fan error on startup windows 7 32bit system

    Hi there guys !
    I got this HP computer for about a year now and since changing my broken CPU fan i got a CPU fan error on startup. 
    I have got a HP P6203W
    MOBO: Pegatron Narra5
    Bios: phoenix technologies 5.55 12/08/2009
    I wanted to reduce some noise from my computer by replacing the CPU fan,
    so i changed the original fan for a Noiseblocker-Multiframe M8-S1.
    Now when i start up the computer; the fan slowly turns around , and i then got an CPU fan error before windows fired up. I can get past it by pressing F2 but its annoying to do so every time i start up. Plus I don't think the fan is turning fast enough.
    I already tried checking cpu fan settings in the bios, but i have the blocked bios.
    No fan settings here.
    Do one of you guys have any clue about how to get my CPU fan working properly again or maybe a bios update for my motherboard ?
    Any help would be very much appreciated !
    thanks for your time

    Hello willibrord87,
    There isn't a BIOS update available for your motherboard so that is not going to be an option.
    On some BIOS you have the ability to disable the system from checking the CPU Fan to avoid the error. If it's there it would be under Advanced menu and then a sub menu called Hardware Monitor. HP like many manufacturers lock out settings to avoid users changing settings to much in the BIOS so the system may not have the option. Since you said you already checked the settings I'm assuming we can skip this.
    So it brings us to the motherboard. The CPU fan plug on the motherboard is a 12v connector, the Noiseblocker you have starts a slow ramp up based on this link http://goo.gl/6jsgn it says it's a start voltage of only 5v. I'm thinking that since the CPU fan is not starting up quick enough the motherboard is failing out and giving the CPU fan error. In the end the error is not a real error because once the CPU fan actually works then it's good to go.
    You may want to try a different CPU fan that has a quicker spin up, or at least move that CPU fan to another system to see if it exhibits the same slow spin up.

  • HP PRO 3400 Series desktop won't boot CPU fan starts and stops , no video, no beeps

    I have the above computer with an i3-2125 CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and a 300GB Seagate Hard drive.  I've had it for about 2 years and been working fine. It started acting up about 2 months ago.  It would lose the date and time.  I checked the battery, and it was OK, so I kept using the computer.  Then on 9/15/2014 it hung on "Starting Windows", I did the following:
    1.  Ran the built in HP diagnostic on hard drive and memory and they both passed.
    2.  Tried to go to last known good configuration and nothing happened.
    3.  Noticed the date and time were off, replaced the battery, nothing changed.
    4.  Tried another hard drive from another HP PRO 3400 Series and it would boot up but could not set date in bios.
    5.  Tried all kinds of things but could not set date in bios.
          a.  Bios date read 48/00/0048 after removing and replacing battery.
          b,  Tried to reset date to 9/16/2914 and it gets 56/00/0051
    6.  Then it wouldn't boot at all.   So now when you turn on the power, the CPU fan starts and runs for about 1 second, then shuts off for 4 seconds, then starts and runs for another 1 sec and it does this continuously.  There is  no video and no beeps and no difference when all memory is removed.
    7.  I removed the power supply, and checked voltages.  It appears to be OK.
    8.  I removed the motherboard, and inspected it- saw nothing obvious.
    9.  I connected the power supply to the motherboard with nothing else connected to the motherboard, and I get the same thing.  CPU fan starts then stops continuously, no video no beeps.
    10.  I am thinking it is the Motherboard, but I sure could use some suggestions as to what to do next.
    Thanks

  • Dc5850 cpu fan speeds to top speed sys then shutdown

    I have a Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq dc5850 Micro tower PC, now running windows 7 pro 64-bit. That was new in late 2008. Originally it came with vista 32-bit downgrade able to XP pro 32 bit, running on 2G RAM, and 160G C drive with a 2.30 gigahertz AMD Phenom 8600B Triple-Core processor. It also has ATI 3100 integrated graphics as well as integrated NIC at 1G and integrated High def audio. In the first few months I had the system, I upgraded memory by 4G and total Disc space by 500G by adding a D drive; then upgraded to windows 7 pro 64-bit.
    Overall, I have had a good experience with the PC but it has had problems while in its 3-year warranty. I did need to replace the C drive and later it original RAM devices. Yes HP did these replacements and swaps, under warranty; that meant I had 6G memory for a long time before the HP 2Gig failed out of warranty, leaving me with 4Gig now. Yes I have always had the Unit on an UPS; I even replaced the old UPS with a more powerful unit in late 2009 or early 2010 when the old UPS showed signs of failure. Now instead of serial based UPS connection it is USB.
    Over the last few months I have been getting blue-screen errors of all sorts. Ranging from video related errors, Memory faults, Disc read/write failures and processor flag errors too. After numerous repair disc runs or re-install of windows, the disc read write errors wore corrected by the HP drive sanitation utility disc repair/wipe after failing the extended test. The non video ram was tested by a bootable CD of memtest86 v4 running extended test as well as MS memory Diagnostic. Both run multiple times, both passed multiple times. I was able to find a CD based video diagnostic for ATI and the Video passed repeated stress test as well. Over Labor Day I conducted these test and re-installed windows 64-bit; on the following Monday windows informed me I needed to activate windows, so I verified the correct key and called to do so, successfully.
    With that background given here is the question. Recently over the last two or three months, for no apparent reason, mainly on boot the fan races to top speed and the system shuts down to protect itself. I researched this a little and found one cause to be inadequate airflow over the CPU to keep it cool; the recommendation made sense to vacuum with a computer vacuum and be sure airflow is not somehow obstructed. I am now thinking all these problems are related to the CPU temp sensor. Is it on the CPU fan or the motherboard, and can raising the fan speed in BIOS help prevent the problem, particularly if it on the motherboard.
    John M Gray II

    My pentium 4 3.0c stock Intel fan is 4.44 watts. Isn't the mobo designed for this?
    Also, can the sys fan header have the speed sensor activated by a bios fix or is it a hardware issue where it just does not exist? If hardware, seems strange since Corecell shows sys fan.

  • Lenovo G560 CPU FAN stop then overheating

    Hello i have lenovo G560 after i turn it on a few seconds fan working then definitiveli stops and cpu go overheating and notebook go stutdown.  I try to change CPU fan but issue is there still. Sorry for my poor english. Can anybody tell my what i want to do?

    hi deadbiker,
    Overheating problems are commonly caused by evaporated or dried out thermal paste or dirty cooling fan. Since you replaced the fan, I recommend you remove the heatsink and re-apply a thermal compound on the CPU and GPU (if applicable). See page 41 on the Hardware Maintenance Manual on how to remove the heatsink.
    If the fan still stops and the unit overheats and shuts down, the CPU might be throttling or might be faulty already. I recommend you send the unit for service (either a local repair shop or thru lenovo since they have diagnostic tools to check the unit out). Support phone list here.
    Hope this helps.

  • Dual CPU fans in IQ816 Question

    I have received the fatal error message indicating that my wife's IQ816 CPU fan is dead. 
    When I opened up the unit I found that one of the 2 CPU fans was indeed not functioning (FYI there are a total of 3 fans in the IQ816s). The fans part number (on the part) is 13G075205000H2 which translates to HP part number 489487-001, and I have ordered a couple of these already.
    However, the second CPU fan (located right next to the other one) has part number 13G075205030H2 and I have not been able to find this part number anywhere (it is the same as the first part number with one of the 0s changed to a 3 so it is possible that the same part number may be okay with both, but I have no way of knowing that).
    Could someone please let me know what the HP part number is for the 13G075205030H2 as I know this fan will die eventually, and I would like to be prepared with the replacement part in hand.
    Thanks in advance,
    Don McFarland

    For those who may read this thread who are not familiar with PC hardware issues, there are some basic parts which can go bad and cause a machine to no longer function. Historically, manufacturers produce these parts so that customers who need them can keep their machine up and running rather than having to buy a new one. These parts include...
    (1) CPU - okay, chances are good that the CPU manufacturer will take care of this being available
    (2) CPU Fan - on newer machines, the BIOS will not allow the machine to boot if a CPU fan is not working - whether or not these are available is largely up to the part that was selected by HP - there is no guaruntee that the part will be available unless HP makes that happen.
    (3) Memory - okay, chances are good that a memory manufacturer will take care of this being available
    (4) Hard Drive - there are plenty of hard drives out there to choose from
    Note that of these 4 items, HP is off the hook on 3 of them due to the stock that other vendors maintain, namely the CPU, Memory and Hard drive. The least expensive (by a longshot) critical part is the CPU Fan/heat-sink (production cost is a few dollars).  One has to ask oneself, why HP would not make these parts available, because without them, a $2000+ computer (IQ-816 for example when they first came out) becomes a worthless piece of &^%^.
    I am really having a hard time believing this sad state of affairs. For anyone reading this, make note that it does not matter how much you paid for your high end HP computer when it comes time for replacement parts, because HP is not taking the responsibility that they should to look after their customers - it may run for a couple of years or so, but when the trouble hits, you may find yourself in the same situation that I am in (i.e. can't get a part that is necessary for the computer to run).

  • [Solved] Asus L1366 mobo, cpu fan speed control

    Hi, everyone,
    I finally have this new core i7 system, to replace my old AMD athlonx2.  I have one question about the CPU fan speed control.
    I remember that in my old system, the cpu fan speed control works out of box, no configuration is needed.
    But when I install arch 64 on this new i7 system, the cpu fan is running at its maximum speed constantly while the CPU temperature is modestly low. I know there is a wiki teaching how to do it.
    However, I am just curious why it doens't work out of box any more? Does CPU fan control work for you guys out of box normally? especially the new Core i7 cpu users?
    Please let me know, really appreciated it.
    Thanks a lot.
    Update: the issue is solved, see my last post, the solution is blacklisting: asus_atk0110, instead use w83667hg.
    Cheers.

    First off, it would be useful to know what the sensors-detect script actually reports.
    Okay. How fan control works on Linux: First, navigate to /sys/class/hwmon
    Each of these folders, i.e. hwmon0, stands for a sensors monitor / fan controller on your mainboard that may control one or several fans. Inside hwmonN, there should be a subfolder called device, which contains several interfaces if your BIOS allows software-side fan control. You can read them with cat and write to them with echo.
    Examples:
    pwm1_enable shows if OS-level fan control is enabled (1) or disabled and in BIOS control (0). Changing fan speed won't work if this is disabled. (i.e. cat /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable reports 0 -> disabled; you could enable it with echo 1 > /sys/class/hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable).
    pwm1 allows to change fan speed. The values range from 0 (fan off) to 255 (full speed, 12V).
    fan1_input shows the current RPM if a fan is connected. You can only read from this interface. Its useful to check all of these in the each of the hwmon folders to find out if there is actually a fan connected to the fan controller (they often have more ports than mainboard manufacturers use).
    There might be a fan1_div, this is somehow related to how the kernel reads the RPM, I don't know how it works.
    temp1_input interfaces can appeare too, if some of the chips have temperature sensors located somewhere. I *think* lm_sensors places the core temperatures it reads from CPU (the coretemp-isa-000X thingies) in one of the hwmon-folders too.
    There might be interfaces for different fans in the same hwmon folder, i.e. pwm2_enable, pwm2, fan2_input, etc., all interfaces with the same index belong to the same physical fan connector, and all in the same hwmonN are managed by the same IC on your mainboard.
    Warning: These interfaces, if they work, control the fans directly without any kind of security measure. If you shut some essential fan down, it will stay off until you reboot your CPU shuts down.
    (If you see something likein0_alarm, in0_input, in0_max, etc. it's a voltage monitoring chip.)
    If one of those interfaces can do something, OS-level fan control does work, if none of those folders contain a working pwm interface, fan control seems to be unavailable.
    Sometimes there is an option in the BIOS to enable it, and for some BIOSs software-side fan control only works if dynamic fan control is disabled in the BIOS and fan speed is set to a static value - or vice versa.
    I don't know what you are using to control fan speed, there are many applications that use these interfaces, i.e. GNOME or KDE power managers, so I'm not sure what is happening:
    IF: Windows 7 enables OS-level fan control and sets it the RPM to those you observed and you have nothing that provides fan control in Arch and so fan control stays at BIOS-level, which might also read out a different sensor / the same sensor differently or it might be more conservative in setting fan speeds altogether;
    OR: You have something that provides fan control installed in Arch and it reads out a the wrong value supplied by lm_sensors and thus sets a higher fan speed.
    Anyway, possible solutions I can think of:
    Find out if you have some kind of fan control software and what it does. For example, I use the fancontrol daemon, I can't help you if you use something else.
    The wiki mentions how to assign a fan speed to a certain temperature sensors. You might assign it to a different one. For example, there are no sensor chips on the mainboard of my EEE (no temp1 etc.) so I assigned the fan speed to the temperature reported by the BIOS via ACPI (those are in /sys/class/thermal, also no "device" subfolder on EEEs):
    FCTEMPS=/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/pwm1=/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
    You could also change the MINTEMP/MAXTEMP values to one higher than those you actually want to compensate for the effect of lm_sensors reporting temperatures that are too high.
    It is currently not possible for a mortal user to change the coretemps lm_sensors reads, see this post, last paragraph.
    There is a configuration file, /etc/sensors3.conf, you can change sensor names and adjust offsets here, but only for the monitoring chips and their sensors that are on the mainboard.

  • COOLING FAN : REPLACEMENT PART

    Hi,
    My laptop just keep shutting down... notice that an alarm has been issued during startup stating than the CPU fan is no longer working properly.
    For this case, where can i buy a replacement part for this item only.
    Pls. advice asap, and probably include pricing if available.
    Thank you
