To replace a CMOS battery, remove the air shroud, disconnect and remove any expansion cards, locate the battery socket, and carefully pry out the CMOS battery. After installing a new CMOS battery, you must reinstall the expansion cards, install the air shroud, and restore the BIOS settings, ensuring the battery is operating properly and the correct data and time are set in the System Setup.

This article presents opportunities to understand and troubleshoot some common causes of fan noise in a PowerEdge server. It is also relevant for 100% fan speeds.

Kioxia CM6 NVMe SSDs on 17‑generation servers experience I2C (Inter‑Integrated Circuit) communication issues. The fan speed stays locked at 100 % after OS boot. This behavior is observed on 17G servers only running Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 10 firmware version 1.20.80.51 or older.
