Re: Fan control Fire 280R

Does anyone know how to configure the fans on a SunFire 280R to run in
load or temparature sensitive mode rather than full power all the time.

The motherboard appears the same as a Blade 1000 (and identifies as that
since there is no RSC card populated) which does provide lower power to
the fans unless needed but I have not been able to locate the parameters
controlling the fans.

I appreciate that the machine is intended for a server room where the
noise does not matter but my area has poor soundproofing and a base
machine with 1 750 Mhz processor does not need all that cooling.

Do you have the latest RSC and OBP firmware installed as well as any/all
picld patches for the OS?

I'm assuming when you do a prtdiag it is showing all the fans at 100%?
