    Hi Folks,

    Has anybody else noticed this? After its calibration run on startup, which takes about 8 seconds, the official CPU fan shuts down, and at that point the A101 gets reset. I cannot see a clean way of adding a nice big capacitor to the fan power supply lines, so I am thinking about getting the necessary connector to power the fan externally and just let it run all the time.

    cheers, robertkb

    Thanks Walter, you are correct- the reboot occurs about 10 seconds after initial power up, regardless of whether or not the fan is plugged in- I simply didn't notice it before. And from the documentation you referred to, it appear that I can disable this behavior if it proves to be a problem (which it is not at this point).
