HP DL380 G6: Where is Temperature Sensor 30 (I/O Board Zone)?
In ILO2 firmware 2.15 on my DL380 G6, the Temp 30 sensor (location: I/O Board Zone) indicates 65C and my fans are running at 78% capacity. The Caution level for this zone is 110C, and the Critical level is 115C.
Would anyone know where is located the Temp 30 sensor? There are 8 other sensors that point to "I/O Board Zone" locations.
Thank you,
Alexandre
Solution 1:
The sensor is likely in the PCIe cage area, above the P410i RAID controller on the motherboard. This would be the rear-right corner of the server chassis looking from the front of the server.
"I/O Zone" in this context means the PCIe bus. Can you give us any detail about any PCIe cards installed in this server? Depending on what's installed, your fan speed will increase. See: Controlling HP ProLiant DL380 G6/G7 fan speed
The image below is from a Gen8 ProLiant, but the hottest areas of the server are basically the same as a G6 or G7. CPU zone and the onboard RAID and PCIe sockets.
The DL380 G6 has 30 temperature sensors. This is from a healthy running G6. Your temperature reading at sensor 30 is not abnormal:
