'Something is wrong' and then I proceeded to clear the CMOS. I seem to have misplaced the proper weblink but it involved only switching the cmos jumper over to pins 2-3 and powering on the machine and waiting for a series of beeps. Then moving the onboard CMOS jumper back to it's original position. Powering the machine on and then again setting the BIOS configuration values. <--That has cleared the fan issue and any bootime errors that had/were occuring.<br><br>Prior of course to this is that I went through an issue which I should have noted immediately upon connecting the machine to even AC power was 'UPDATE THE BIOS FIRMWARE' if possible.<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> </span><br><br>2.
