I have the following observations to add:
1) Correction. The fans don't go on for 5 seconds but more like 1 second
2) When I remove the memory module, i.e. only the two cpus plus fan are
connected the same problem occurs, that is the LED indicating overheating
goes on. So the system doesn't even get so far to check if there is any
memory installed at all.
3) When either of the two cpus is inserted in socket 0 and no cpu is
inserted in socket 1 then still the same error occurs.
4) If I remove both cpus and the ram the fans stay on. After a short while
an alarm goes on.
Any ideas what's going on here?
