Intel recently discovered an issue with the system fans introducing excessive chassis vibration while running full speed with higher capacity drives installed, resulting in hard disk drive performance degradation, and potentially data loss.

Note that the fans will only be operated at full speed when any of the following occur:
1) The Enclosure Management Software is not installed and running on the system.
2) The system is operated in a 32° C (or greater) ambient temperature.
3) Single (or multiple) fan failure.

Workarounds:
1) Install the latest version of Enclosure Management Software available here.
2) Operate the system in a 30° C (or less) ambient temperature environment.
3) Replace the failed system fan(s) immediately upon failure.

Please see the Technical Advisory for additional details, including root cause and corrective actions.
