Local fix

  • A shutdown reload of the firmware will allow
    the fans to return to normal speed in most cases.
    

Problem summary

  • Occasionally after a reboot, the appliance reports speed for
    multiple fans being above upper critical.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix will be in 3.7.3.18, 3.8.0.12, 3.8.1.11, 3.8.2.3
