Altitude Option Values: 300m or less 301m-900m 901m-1500m Higher than 1500m Help Text: [300m or less] (980ft or less) Optimal performance setting near sea level. [301m - 900m] (980ft - 2950ft) Optimal performance setting at moderate elevation. [901m - 1500m] (2950ft - 4920ft) Optimal performance setting at high elevation. [Higher than 1500m] (4920ft or greater) Optimal performance setting at the highest elevations. Comments: This option sets an altitude value in order to choose a Fan Profile that is optimized for the air density at the current altitude at which the system is installed. Back to [System Acoustic and Performance Configuration] 3. Set Fan Profile Option Values: Performance Acoustic Help Text: [Performance] - Fan control provides primary system cooling before attempting to throttle memory. [Acoustic] - The system will favor using throttling of memory over boosting fans to cool the system if thermal thresholds are met. Comments: This option sets an altitude value in order to choose a Fan Profile that is optimized for the air density at the current altitude at which the system is installed. Back to [System Acoustic and Performance Configuration] 4. Fan PWM Offset Option Values: [Entry Field 0 - 100, 0 is default] Help Text: Valid Offset 0 - 100. This number is added to the calculated PWM value to increase Fan Speed. Comments: This is a percentage by which the calculated fan speed will be increased. The user can apply positive offsets that result in increasing the minimum fan speeds.
