Object MinimumFanSpeed ThermalProfile Description Usage Example • Allows configuring the Values from Minimum Fan speed that is MFSMinimumLimit to required for the system to MFSMaximumLimit • operate. It defines the baseline (floor) value for fan speed and system allows fans to go When get command reports 255, it means user configured offset is not applied. lower than this defined fan speed value. • This value is %PWM value for fan speed. To make sure that the system minimum speed does not decrease lower than 45% PWM (45 must be a value between MFSMinimumLimit to MFSMaximumLimit): racadm set system.thermalsettin gs.MinimumFanSpeed 45 • Allows you to specify the Values: To view the existing thermal Thermal Base Algorithm. • 0 - Auto profile setting: • Allows you to set the system • 1 - Maximum performance profile as required for thermal behavior associated • 2 - Minimum Power to the profile. racadm get system.thermalsettin gs.ThermalProfile To set the thermal profile to Maximum Performance: racadm set system.thermalsettin gs.ThermalProfile 1 ThirdPartyPCIFanRespons • e • • Thermal overrides for third- Values: party PCI cards. Allows you to disable or enable the default system fan response for detected third-party PCI cards. • 1 - Enabled • 0 - Disabled NOTE: The default value is 1.
