Object Description Usage Example
MFSMinimumL
imit
Read Minimum limit for MFS
Values from 0 to
MFSMaximumLimi
t
Default is 255
(means None)
To display the lowest value that can
be set using MinimumFanSpeed
option.
racadm get
system.thermalsettings.MFSM
inimumLimit
MinimumFanS
peed
• Allows configuring the
Minimum Fan speed that
is required for the system
to operate.
• It defines the baseline
(floor) value for fan speed
and system allows fans to
go lower than this
defined fan speed value.
• This value is %PWM value
for fan speed.
Values from
MFSMinimumLimi
t to
MFSMaximumLimi
t
When get
command reports
255, it means user
configured offset
is not applied.
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.thermalsettings.Mini
mumFanSpeed 45
ThermalProf
ile
• Allows you to specify the
Thermal Base Algorithm.
• Allows you to set the
system profile as required
for thermal behavior
associated to the profile.
Values:
• 0 — Auto
• 1 — Maximum
performance
• 2 — Minimum
Power
To view the existing thermal profile
setting:
racadm get
system.thermalsettings.Ther
malProfile
To set the thermal profile to
Maximum Performance:
racadm set
system.thermalsettings.Ther
malProfile 1
ThirdPartyP
CIFanRespon
se
• Thermal overrides for
third-party PCI cards.
• Allows you to disable or
enable the default system
fan response for detected
third-party PCI cards.
• You can confirm the
presence of third-party
PCI card by viewing the
message ID PCI3018 in
the Lifecycle Controller
log.
Values:
• 1— Enabled
• 0— Disabled
NOTE: The
default value
is 1.
To disable any default fan speed
response set for a detected third-
party PCI card: racadm set
system.thermalsettings.Thir
dPartyPCIFanResponse 0
Modifying thermal settings using iDRAC settings utility
To modify the thermal settings:
1. In the iDRAC Settings utility, go to Thermal.
The iDRAC Settings Thermal page is displayed.
2. Specify the following:
• Thermal Profile
• Maximum Exhaust Temperature Limit
