Comware

Hi,

i have to replace one of the fan on my HP 5130-48. The fails fan has code "Hpe X722 port to power fan tray 5060-0174" and it has red levers in its back.

The replace parts has blue levers, code is "HPE X722 BF fan tray".

The problem is that when i put the new one it doesn't recognize "fan prefer direction" commands: after a few seconds the flow remains unchanged and the switch tells to check air flow-direction.

My dubt is that the new spare parts in not exactly like the broken fan...

Any ideas?

Hi,

Can you please share the exact command applied to change the flow direction.

For you reference:

e.g
fan prefer-direction
Use fan prefer-direction to configure the preferred airflow direction.

Use undo fan prefer-direction to restore the default.

Syntax
fan prefer-direction slot slot-number { power-to-port | port-to-power }

undo fan prefer-direction slot slot-number

If issue remains after applying above command then share below output and also share the old fan and new fan product/part number.

display device manuinfo fan
display fan
display version

Thanks!

Hi,

during a test I tried to disassemble it and now it works. I don't know why, maybe it would have been a faulty contact.

Thanks for your support!

Hi,

Now it seems FAN 2 state is 'Normal;'.

It might be because of  a faulty contact..

Also the deivce is running on very old software and I will advise you to upgrade it to latest.

Thanks!
