Thermal Management Intel® Server System R1000RP Family TPS does not change them. 4.2.2 Altitude This option is used to select the proper altitude that the system will be used in. Available settings include [300m or less], [301m-900m], [901m-1500m], and [Above 1500m]. Selecting an altitude range that is lower than the actual altitude the system will be operating at, can cause the fan control system to operate less efficiently, leading to higher system thermals and lower system performance. If the altitude range selected is higher than the actual altitude the system will be operating at, the fan control system may provide better cooling but with higher acoustics and higher fan power consumption. If the altitude is not known, selecting a higher altitude is recommended in order to provide sufficient cooling. 4.2.3 Set Fan Profile This option is used to set the desired Fan Profile. Available settings include [Performance] and [Acoustic]. The Acoustic mode offers the best acoustic experience and appropriate cooling capability supporting the majority of the add-in cards used. Performance mode is designed to provide sufficient cooling capability covering all kinds of add-in cards on the market. 4.2.4 Fan PWM Offset This option is reserved for manual adjustment to the minimum fan speed curves. The valid range is from [0 to 100] which stands for 0% to 100% PWM adding to the minimum fan speed. This feature is valid when Quiet Fan Idle Mode is at Enabled state. The default setting is [0]. 4.2.5 Quiet Fan Idle Mode This feature can be [Enabled] or [Disabled]. If enabled, the fans will either shift to a lower speed or stop when the aggregate sensor temperatures are satisfied, indicating the system is at ideal thermal/light loading conditions. When the aggregate sensor temperatures are not satisfied, the fans will shift back to normal control curves. If disabled, the fans will never shift into lower fan speeds or stop, regardless of whether the aggregate sensor temperatures are satisfied. The default setting is [Disabled]. Note: The above feature may or may not be in effect and depends on the actual thermal characteristics of the specified system. 4.2.6 Thermal Sensor Input for Fan Speed Control The BMC uses various IPMI sensors as inputs to control fan speed. Some of the sensors are actual physical sensors and some are virtual sensors derived from calculations. The following IPMI thermal sensors are used as input to control fan speed: Front Panel Temperature Sensor1 CPU Margin Sensors2, 4, 5 DIMM Thermal Margin Sensors2, 4 PCH Temperature Sensor3,5 30 Intel order number: G91532-003 Revision 1.2
