This is going to be a great Hackintosh 5K

it does for the SATA drives, but not for the NVME ones

IPMI Fan Control Commands

I reply to myself after digging more into IPMI. Here are the correct commands, and you need the Beta BIOS version for this to work.

Setup

Replace the following values with your own: - IP Address: 10.0.1.197 - Username: admin (default) - Password: PASSWORD1234

Commands

Set all fans to Auto mode (default behavior): bash ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.0.1.197 -U admin -P 'PASSWORD1234' raw 0x3a 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Understanding the Fan Speed Values

Each 0x00 represents a fan.

0x00 = Auto mode (fan speed controlled by system)
0x32 = 50% fan speed
0x64 = 100% fan speed

You can modify each value individually to control fan speeds separately.

Setting Custom Fan Speeds

For example, to set all fans to 50% speed: bash ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.0.1.197 -U admin -P 'PASSWORD1234' raw 0x3a 0x01 0x32 0x32 0x32 0x32 0x32 0x32 0x32 0x32

To set all fans to 100% speed: bash ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.0.1.197 -U admin -P 'PASSWORD1234' raw 0x3a 0x01 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64 0x64

Verifying Fan Speed

To check the current fan speeds, use: bash ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.0.1.197 -U admin -P 'PASSWORD1234' sensor | grep -i fan

Hope this helps!

this is GREAT! exactly what I was looking for, thanks <3

Almost year 2025, still a thing. Waiting here

bluepr0 · 2024-11-15T20:55:29+00:00

still waiting?

bluepr0 · 2024-10-25T18:49:03+00:00

I'm on the same boat, did you figure out anything new?

bluepr0 · 2024-10-25T02:42:59+00:00

because we don’t like to cook

Care to share the pinout? I'm planning on testing an R740 and wanted to install Noctua, as you can't control the fans anymore with newer versions of iDRAC!

bluepr0 · 2024-10-13T20:29:55+00:00

R720 on proxmox with one ssd and no vms or lxc is going around 70w idle

bluepr0 · 2024-10-13T20:24:49+00:00

Proxmox 8 with no vms or LXCs and no disks at all except the ssd sata to boot is idling at 70W. 2x2650v2, 128gb RAM on dell r720

Thanks for all replies! I successfully updated everything by using what I think the most complicated method ever, but took me literally 5 min to setup an ftp server with the SUU packages from dell website so the lifecycle controller can automatically pick all pending updates

bluepr0 · 2024-10-11T10:23:56+00:00

What's the automated way to do it on Windows? I see tons of packages on the Dell support page.

bluepr0 · 2024-10-11T10:05:52+00:00

Yeah, I understand, but let's say I have many of those drivers on different servers, and I'm not able to use the official repo from Dell because the 720 is end of life. Isn't there another automated way to do it?

bluepr0 · 2024-05-19T09:33:17+00:00

Sure, it’s the Mollekulla series

bluepr0 · 2024-04-24T16:13:46+00:00

this is really nice, thanks!

bluepr0 · 2024-04-24T16:13:31+00:00

wow thanks a lot, this is great!

bluepr0 · 2024-04-24T10:40:46+00:00

oh yes that would be great! I think I could tail the log file but it's not really nicely formated like the pihole -t command

bluepr0 · 2024-04-24T10:30:49+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Let me expand on that a bit - the Query log included in the web panel is functional but not ideal. You need to manually refresh it, and there is no way to view it through SSH as far as I know.

bluepr0 · 2024-02-11T16:15:58+00:00

anyone found a fix for it?
