That's certainly an interesting behavior. There's not one of these available to test with, but I'd think that it must be doing this because of a system management component on the board or the DRAC. Would it be possible to remove the DRAC and see if the behavior persists, or is it something that is so periodic that testing like that may take quite some time?
Hi, the model is EOS and EOL. Replacing motherboards are too much of work at the moment I'm afraid. Are those two have the same BIOS and iDRAC versions as the rest of the servers? Maybe we can check that first?

I have this problem on two out of 20 x PE1950's. Both of these are GenII machines with a UR=33 planar.
I did try another DRAC5 card but after 10 minutes it did the same trick again.
Maybe I should upgrade the mainboard?
