hello
i purchased two ML350p Gen8 with 12Gb 15K sas disks ( yes the salesman fooled me and i didnt do a proper research ) , but i keep hear ticking every 5 minutes : tik tik tik tik tik tik .
i did a health and maintenance test , checked the disks from CLI , nothing there is no error whatsoever .
the servers has windows server 2008 R2 , they are idle all the time ( they did not join my live environment yet ).
everything from driver to firmware has been updated to the max , proliant service pack , everything .
i made sure the disks ( sff in an LFF case ) are well seated , my raid card has no issue or problem , both 460 watt PSU is connected to a 40 KVA UPS .
is this ticking noise normal ? and if not what should i check ?
