Updating the Fan Control Board firmware

The following section outlines the steps needed to update the Fan Control Board (FCB) firmware on the PowerEdge C6300 enclosure and set the chassis type sticky bits. This procedure is only applicable for the PowerEdge C6300 2U chassis with 2.5-inch x24 hard drives backplane without an expander.

NOTE: Mixing the PowerEdge C6320 and PowerEdge C6320p sleds in the same PowerEdge C6300 chassis is not supported.

In the event that PowerEdge C6320 and PowerEdge C6320p sleds are installed in the same PowerEdge C6300 chassis, the following error conditions are noticed:

  • The system state LED on the unsupported sled blinks with an amber color.
  • On the front panel of the enclosure the power indictor blinks with an amber color.
  • The system state LED of the unsupported sled blinks blue on the front panel.
  • The fans will run at high speed.
  • A System Event Log (SEL) is generated in the unsupported sleds iDRAC logs. For example: Unable to control the fan speed because a sled mismatch or hardware incompatiblity is detected.
