The system fans started running too fast after a firmware update.
Latest BIOS version was installed, but the issue persisted.
Apply BIOS default settings to resolve fan speed issues when it's a brand new system.
1. Power down the server and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Remove the system top cover and move the BIOS DFLT/J2B1 jumper from pins 1 - 2 (default) to pins 2 - 3.
(Set BIOS Defaults)
3. Wait 5 seconds then move the jumper back to pins 1 - 2.
4. Re-install the system top cover.
5. Re-Install system power cords.
6. During POST, access the BIOS Setup utility to configure and save desired BIOS options.
For additional information, refer to the BIOS Default Jumper Block section in Technical Product Information of the Intel® Server Board S2600WT2R.
