Thank you Todd. I do not have another 2950, I have a few other Dell Servers but not another series like this. Do you have a description or a link to an image of what the sensor looks like so that I can attempt to locate it? Thank you sir!
Thank you Todd, the switch on the sensor sure enough has broken off. I applied a quick fix and taped the remaining portion of the switch down. The fans have already throttled down and are operating around their normal RPM range. If I wanted to correctly fix the problem I assume I would need to purchase a replacment sideplane. Thank you for the document, it helped out tremendously!
Even all these years later, your advice was 100% spot-on... just what I needed. I had to jam a screw into the hole to hold down the remnant of the broken switch, and tape a bit of cardboard in place to keep the screw depressed.

Thanks, both of you to clarifying this issue, had an abnormal noise and actually because of you realized that the actual "button" was broken.
