WS-8-250-AC False Fan Failure

Tue Jul 21, 2015 3:44 pm

I have a WS-8-250-AC that is running firmware 1.1.8 board is Rev A.

I get fan failure emails a few times a day. I am pretty sure they are false. Has this been addressed in a later firmware release? If so is it safe to upgrade to it remotely as this site is not easy to get to.

Thanks,

David

Yes if you are at v1.1.8 already upgrading to the current version is safe.

WOW a WS-8-250-AC, that was one of the original batch of 50 switches with white labels then.

For the record even prior to v1.1.8 upgrading was 99.995% safe, only 1 in about 500 people had difficulties but that has been fixed since the release of v1.1.8.

Yes False fan failures was an issue addressed in a recent upgrade. I think we finally nailed it down or at least I do not hear much complaints anymore about that.
