Catalyst 9800-40 chassis fans are LOUD

hbell
Level 1
Level 1

First "the fans in the power supply modules will continue to run even if the chassis power switch is in the Standby position" is some strange engineering. The power fan, usually loud in itself when compared with my current 5520 power fans, keeps running even when in standby mode.  But the power fans are not my REAL problem. The serious problem is with the chassis fans, which run at 100% even after the device has completed the boot sequence and I am able to enter exec mode. I have seen reports that this problem was resolved through a ROMMON fix with (I believe) pkg 16.12(3r).  Both in my brand new, out of the box, WLC pair were shipped with ROMMON ver 17.7(3r).  There is a ROMMON upgrade that was released on 2023-12-21, but that is behind the "additional entitlement required," meaning I would have to purchase a service contract for our little school district to get what we paid for in these brand new devices that should work properly out of the box. (This feels like extortion, by the way).

It is odd that BOTH brand new controllers are experiencing this chassis fan problem. Is there a fix for this, or am I going to have to RMA these devices?

              The values mentioned seem normal.

Several diag commands among those you suggested are not supported on the C9800-40
