@Warning56kb yer guide is great - I wrote a script that incrementally changes fan speed dependant on the highest sensor temps in the server. Works pretty good and 7% keeps me under 30C at idle. Ramps up to 98% in 3% increments... runs safely when I'm using the server but I'm not yet sure if I wanna run it in production when I'm not present - that's the goal tho. My other r330/320 1U servers fans are much less spicy. Even if I set iDrac to it's lowest 35% minimum fan speed it never gets that low 42% at idle. I can post my code maybe we could develop it to be trusted in production...
@@paullee107 Nice, and thank you for the kind words! I've always wanted to sit down and play with RACADM to try different configurations, but that can keeps getting kicked down the road. What would be cool is to have a configuration where only specific fans or groups of fans would adjust speed. Say... only CPU 1 starts being loaded. Only fan 6 (or 5, 6 & 7) would really need to increase speed to cool the CPU, keeping the sound even lower than all increasing speed. That and for say, you have a transcoding GPU in some slot in Riser 1. If it's reporting temp to iDRAC you could increase the speed of just the last fan or the last pair. Do you have PSU fan control as well?
@Warning56kb great ideas about the cpu 1/2 and possible different fans blowing. I'm currently changing mu script so that variables at the top allow users to enter their desired temp fan speeds - not just rely on what I prefer. For production I was also thinking about error control so that a dead script could be quickly restarted. (Although I haven't had any failures like that...) I haven't done ANYTHING with PSUs - mainly because I don't hear them. :P I'll get a github up and share my kick later. In the idrac RACADM can we change the fan curve? In my iDrac I can only change limited options and minimum fan speed is 35% which is way overkill IMO.
OMG, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have 4 dell R630s in the same room with me, and this is a life saver (ear saver, recording saver, etc). Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video and share your knowledge. Cheers to you❗
YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I spent all day Sunday and most of Saturday googling and chatting with generative AI, trying to quiet my r730xd, which was pegged at 100% since doing some firmware updates. I had previously found the ipmitool command to reduce the fan speed manually down to 33%, which worked for my situation, but I got a wild hair to go and update my BIOS and IDRAC firmware, and after reboot, the fans went back to 100%, but this time it ignored my command to reduce back to 33%. The key that I got from your list of commands was the one to ENABLE MANUAL FAN CONTROL!!!!!! I used this one, and now, after a day and a half of listening to that jet engine running and not being able to use my office because of the noise, I have it back under control. Thank you so much!!!!!
You're very welcome! If there's any recommendations you have on the layout of the instructions in the description, i'm all ears! That is if you thing anything would make it easier for first time users. Glad it quieted down your tornado! Lol
@@MACMASTER01 You're very welcome! The only real catch is that the fan speeds will stay at that RPM the whole time independent of load. So, you just have to build into it what you think the 'sweet spot' RPM is so it'll never overheat. I'm wanting to make a similar video soon using RACADM where you can upload a script to the server and actually have a customizable RPM profile based on temp.
Awesome! And you're very welcome! Situations like that is exactly why I made the video. I might be preaching to the choir, but depending on how stressed your RAID card is be careful not to go too low on the RPMs. CPU temps can display as fine, but without RAID card temp reporting, too low of flow can cause seemingly random drive related issues. Just an fyi I wished i'd added to the video.
holy cow you saved me, thank you man! My GPU's were running in the 30c's and the CPU's were running max 32c, but the server sounded like a jet engine. I was able to lower it all the way to 20% and the max CPU temps are hitting 45C under heavy load testing and the GPU's are hitting tops 75C, which is totally acceptable in most situations and my home lab setup. Thank you!
R730xd - IDRAC 2.86.86.86, working great!!! as others have said.... you saved the ears!!! I'm not even sure what I installed to lose control on mine, one if the 2.5 SAS drives died, but no data loss or anything, other than that I'm not really sure how I lost control, but either way, this is a great solution and if I ramp up the usage I will add some fan speed. Thanks!
Dude you are a lifesaver. Ive been sitting here listening to 8 16000 RPM server fans going at 100% nonstop because Truenas has absolutely 0 support for fan control in any way, shape, or form. Setting manual fan curves through bios was being ignored. I was on the verge of having to scrap literally everything I have and restarting on a new OS. I cannot thank you enough.
I can't seem to get it working on a HP DL380 G7. Did these support RAW commands via ipmitool? If so, are the strings the same as the Dell ones? When I send the raw command to enable manual control I get this "Unable to send RAW command"
It can be run from the server its self or from any computer on the same network. You use the command line to point to the IP address that the servers iDRAC is set to.
@@Warning56kb So if run from a PC on the network one could literally control ALL the fans. Awesome. You mentioned that on boot up they will ramp up (auto mode I'm assuming) Should the load on the server increase will the fan speed increase to keep up with the load
@@kwb1714 that's the one and only caveat with this method of full control... the fan speeds always stay at what you set them, regardless of CPU temp or load. The fans will go through their cycle at reboot, but lower back to the percentage you previously set. There are ways to set your own custom fan speed ranges based on temp/load, but it's pretty lengthy to explain. Was wanting to make another video some day covering that.
Not that i'm aware of. The only option to slow it down would be to install an afternarket fan and install an inline resistor to set it where you want. The only caveat would be to make sure you closely monitor the temps as all automatic fan control would be bypassed.
@@Warning56kb problem is with this PSU it has no fan controls at all as it constant. Makes no sense in being in different seaonal envirinments. Well done DELL lol!
glad i found this, using a t320 as a media server and its great except that whatever the fans in it do seem to not be tied at all to load or temperatureat all lol , with this was able to keep them quiet while the machine still stays cool under load
Is there a command to save the options after a restart? After shutting down and disconnecting the server from the power it reset the fan speeds and disabled the manual mode again.
Unfortunately if you completely remove power the settings are reset to default. If you power the system down but don't completely remove power, they'll remain.
So what happens if everything is awesome until shutting down the server and when it boots back up I no longer have control... edit figured it out. Had to run the sript to enable again. Maybe had something to do with full power down and unplug
@@breemetravel1746 You're on top of it! While plugged in either shutdown or reboot it retains the setting, but if power is completely removed it wipes the setting.
Finally got around to setting the 3 new nodes I setup a few months back. Set all fans to 20% and in made me forget home much i was tuning out the noise
hello im getting this error message Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x30 lun=0x0 cmd=0x30 rsp=0xd4): Insufficient privilege level when I insert ipmitool -I lanplus -H myIP -U root -P password raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00 - can someone please help me fix this OK I fixed this now, I had to downgrade to 3.3.3. whichever one you said because mine was running 4.1+ omg cant believe dell is trying to stop allowing us to do this....
And you do have root and password set as your login credentials for iDRAC? If so, would your server happen to be a 13th gen or up? You might have the later iDRAC that prevents fan modification.
Thanks buddy - for some reason I can't establish a connection to the idrac IP, but I'm a playing around... I have a bad fan in 3b, too, so I need to order one of them!!
This worked for me thanks! Question.. When the system is rebooted or unplugged, what is the effect of these commands? Does it go back to the normal setting?
You're very welcome! The fan speed will momentarily ramp up during the next reboot, but will settle down to the speed you set it to. It will keep the setting if powered off or unplugged as well.
quick question. Will the fans adjust, if for some reason the temps are up? I got a Poweredge T440 and I'm just worried maybe somehow this will kill the server lmfao I was able to install IPM
The fans do not adjust with usage when manually set. When you set the desired RPM you'll need to account for CPU heat generated with your anticipated CPU workloads. I'd recommend loading the CPUs to the maximum anticipated workload while manually varying the fan speeds with IPMI tool to see what the minimum required RPM would be. If you have a very low ambient temp, that goes a long way with being able to keep the fan speeds low.
Interesting discussion. I have a case open with Dell (for months now) to have them allow similar fan speed adjustment in 14th and 15th Generation PowerEdge servers. I have one of each in my home lab.
@@Warning56kb iDRAC 9. Whole different beast. I've been pushing Dell for an engineering fix that would put an algorithm override in iDRAC and allow the fans to do what you set them to do. iDRAC 9 already allows you to enter a fan speed percentage as low as 5%. It just ignores it.
@@jeffnew1213yep. Those cant change. I still haven't heard a definitive answer on why capability went away after v3.30+. Seems like it's all just in the firmware revision.
Yes, it does. On Dells side they stopped adjustability with the later 13th gen iDrac. I'm nit certain if HPE has done anything similar, but I haven't heard of any roadblocks.
@@exodus3155 You're very welcome! Have the main command line saved somewhere handy (with the hexadecimal value you like for the speed) because if power is ever removed from the sever it will reset back to default fan speed. Makes it easy to quickly set it back again.
Honestly I'm not sure. You can download Ipmitool and go through the steps and see. For example, if you don't get an error when sending a basic 'disable 3rd party fan reaponse', everything else will most likely work!
