Fan Settings for HL15 v2

Hardware

Hi

Quick question re. the HL15 v2 chassis. To set the drive fans to 100% regardless of temperature, how is this done via the IPMI ? there are a ton of fan settings, but before i start experimenting has anyone managed to do this ? it looks like i have connections to FAN4 (1600rpm current) and FAN6 (900 rpm current).

Based on page 96 of the IPMI config guide (https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=ROMED8-2T#Manual) I think you would set the fan mode to manual and then the duty cycles to 100%. If this is something you want to “set and forget” that’s fine, but you can also use ipmitool to script around it a bit. Something like;

ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x01 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64

might work.

You can also do adjustments from the BIOS, but that looks more complicated.

I’m wanting to turn the fan speed down, did you find effective controls for the fan speed?

If you have the Asrock mothebroard you should be able to adjust the fan speed with the following steps:

Enter the BIOS, navigate to Advanced > H/W Monitor, and adjust the Smart Fan settings to Customize, Silent, Standard, Performance, or Full Speed.

For more granular control, use the IPMI WebUI under Settings > FAN Settings to create custom open/close loop tables based on temperature sensors.

I was able to use IPMI to adjust the fan setting, thanks!
