Question
I am using IPMI. I am having trouble with a fan sensor. It keeps giving me readings while nothing is connected. How can I solve this issue quickly and easily?
Answer

One option is to remove the sensor. You can do it with the procedure below. To get the sensor back, you should reflash/update the IPMI firmware.
