Boot Console Handler Setting the Fan Speed Setting the Fan Speed There are two fan speed settings available on the B2600 workstation. The RackMount fan speed is used for B2600s that are installed in a rack. The DeskSide fan speed is used for B2600s that are used as desktop systems. These fan speeds are set using the Boot Console Handler (bch). To set the fan speeds, follow the procedures discussed in this section. Rack-Mount Fan Speed If you currently have a desktop workstation that you want to convert to a rack-mount workstation, you need to change the workstation's fan speed. To do this, follow this procedure: 1. Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears. Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation. 2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to the Boot Console Handler's (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the Main Menu prompt appears, type: Main Menu: Enter command > configuration 3. Enter the following command at the Conﬁguration Menu prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice RackMount 4. Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting: Main Menu: Enter command > boot Desktop Fan Speed If you currently have a rack-mount workstation that you want to convert to a desktop workstation, you need to change the workstation's fan speed.

Boot Console Handler

Setting the Fan Speed

There are two fan speed settings available on the B2600 workstation. The

RackMount

fan

speed is used for B2600s that are installed in a rack. The

DeskSide

fan speed is used for

B2600s that are used as desktop systems. These fan speeds are set using the Boot Console

Handler (bch). To set the fan speeds, follow the procedures discussed in this section.

Rack-Mount Fan Speed

If you currently have a desktop workstation that you want to convert to a rack-mount

workstation, you need to change the workstation’s fan speed. To do this, follow this

procedure:

1. Turn on the workstation and press the

Tab

key until a select display message appears.

Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation.

2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to

the Boot Console Handler’s (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have

autoboot

turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu.

When the

Main Menu prompt appears, type:

Main Menu: Enter command > configuration

Enter the following command at the Conﬁguration Menu prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice RackMount

Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot

Desktop Fan Speed

If you currently have a rack-mount workstation that you want to convert to a desktop
