Poweredge 800, does not shutdown properly- standby stat- blinking green LED

Question

Hello, I just bought a used PowerEdge 800 server, and everything works fine, except that after I shut down the computer  the PSU  fan does not turn off and stays indefinitely on, and the power LED is blinking/flashing green, as if the computer is in a standby state.  The power supply fan stays on indefinitely and will only turn off if I unplug the server, the same goes for the flashing green power LED.   Is this default behaviour for a PE800, is there no way to shutdown other than plugging the plug out? I have tried updating the bios, removing all other cards etc but to no avail and I am pretty sure its not because of the OS either! Any suggestions? Help! Thank you! Sting.

I have the same problem with my Poweredge 800, did you ever find a solution to this problem or what is causing it? Thanks,
