Viewing Information and Health Status of Fans
CMC controls the speed of the chassis fan by increasing or decreasing the fan speed on the basis of system events. You can run the fan in
three modes such as Low, Medium, and High. For more information about conguring a fan, see the Online Help.
To set up the properties of fans by using RACADM commands, type the following command at the CLI interface.
racadm fanoffset [-s <off|low|medium|high>]
For more information about the RACADM commands, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command
Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/cmcmanuals.
NOTE
: The CMC monitors the temperature sensors in the chassis and automatically adjust the fan speed as needed. However,
you can override to maintain a minimum fan speed by the racadm fanoset command. When overriden using this command, the
CMC will always run the fan to the selected speed even though the chassis does not require the fans to run at that speed.
CMC generates an alert and increases the fan speeds when the following events occur:
• CMC ambient temperature threshold is exceeded.
