Hi everybody,
we got a Gen8 firewall from SonicWall in productive (NSa3800) - every 3-4 weeks it starts that the primary device gets an issue with fan #1 failing again and again. After replacing the device, it works for some time and then shows the same behavior again.
I suspect this comes from the new architecture based on more powerful CPUs (with more heat to be pumped out) as the Gen7 and older firewalls never had this issue.. It's in the same rack as the Gen7 devices and also primary and secondary are directly next to each other.. No difference there..
Somebody else out there who faces these problems? Is the cooling system in the device prone to issues maybe?
We got a ticket open on this, I'm just interested whether somebody else faces these issues as well.
