Re: Kayak XAs 7/500 MT: switch off the I/O fan warning light



Alexander Farber schrieb:

I've got 3 dual-CPU Kayak's and like them (those are my first dual-CPU
PCs ever and I run OpenBSD on them). However from the one of them
I had to remove the fan and the speaker at the very bottom (facing
front).

Now the small BW LCD-display which should normally show a smiley,
shows the warning about a failed I/O fan and a nearby red light is
blinking.

Is there a way to switch this warning off, as I don't really need that
fan?

Nope. The fan was there for a reason which besides cooling the PCI/ISA/AGP cards is cooling the chipset and the IDE controller. You say you like the machines, so if you like them enough that you want to have them running also in a few years just replace the fan...
