Upgraded many of my WS-8-250-AC to 1.3.7. I've been getting inundated from one (so far) of them with !Fan is Failing alerts:

I know Chris said something about if the temperature isn't >50c that it's ok, but thought this was addressed by 1.3.7 (I could be mistaken about that though.)

Thanks
Sam

Sam,

Can we have remote access to this switch?

Chris, sure you can. I sent you a PM but for some reason it's sitting in my PM outbox....

THanks Sam, I sent you a PM

Hello,

I am running 1.3.8 on a 8-250-AC and for the first time getting FAN errors ... any suggestions? The switch is in a cool room, about 55 degrees F.

Board temp is 42 degrees C.

Thank You

Please try and v1.3.9rc8 and see if that fixes the issue.

I have installed the firmware and will let you know in a day if the warnings have gone away. Thank You

Upgrade to v1.3.9rc8 has resolved the issue. No more Fan 1 is failing alerts.

Thank you for your support!
