I have 3 HP Z800 workstations I am installing X540-T2 card into which are teamed to 802.3ad.
The first PC has installed fine and running smooth.
PC 2 and 3 the cards installed fine and work for about 5 minutes and then shut off due to overheating. The syncs are noticeably hot to touch.
The only difference spec wise is PC 1 has a mid range card where PC 2 and PC 3 have Nvidia GTX 980 cards and sata cards installed in each.
I have taken the cards out and put them into another Z800 box that is similar to PC 1 and have not had any issues overheating. Though I was only able to test over a 1gb connection.
I am fairly certain the cards were seated correctly in all instances.
I have the most current drivers/firmware for the X540-T2 cards installed.
Cards are installed into the last slot, closet to the bottom of the case. I believe this is slot 8.
Looking for any help or guidance as to where/how to check temperatures and power to the cards. Or any other information that might help me control this overheating issue.
Thank you in advance!
