I recently built an Epyc rig with Tyan S8030. The fan speed is super low (~600rpm) and I can't seem to use the ipmitool with the provided example as well.
BIOS Version V2.02
BMC Version 4.11.0
BIOS Version V2.02
Code:
ipmitool -H 10.x.x.x -U root -P MyPass sdr | grep FAN
CPU_FAN | 2346 RPM | ok
SYS_FAN_1 | 828 RPM | ok
SYS_FAN_2 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_3 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_4 | 414 RPM | ok
SYS_FAN_5 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_6 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_7 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_8 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_9 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_10 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_11 | no reading | ns
SYS_FAN_12 | no reading | ns

Wilfredo Uy (@Tyan) provided me the command required for the 4.11.0 BMC
Use the following for fan control on this version:
Bash:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H YourHost -U root -P '' raw 0x2e 0x44 0xfd 0x19 0x00 0x05 0x01 0x640x05is the PWM id from the list attached below in hex from0x0 - 0x50x64is the PWM duty cycle from 0 - 100 in hex0x0 - 0x64
- CPU0_FAN (PWM0)
- CPU1_FAN (PWM1)
- SYS_FAN_1(PWM2)
- SYS_FAN_2(PWM3)
- SYS_FAN_3(PWM4)
- SYS_FAN_4(PWM5)
I bought a used board and just started testing. I am having issue with the board not starting up.
Initially I wanted to use the ipmi to make all the installations like with my supermicro board. I found the ipmi MAC in my router interface but somehow it didn't have an ip address. The BMC light was blinking, meaning it was ready according to the manual. So I went to reset the BMC using the jumper J101. After this I cannot even see the ipmi in the router anymore and the BMC LED is solid.
Finally I gave in and bought a VGA display and found there is no POST at all... The seller showed me the POST in his test and told me I should wait for 1min for the POST and fan, which doesn't work for me. All I have now is a solid BMC LED and the blue ID LED when push the ID button.
Any suggestion what to do next?

The usual troubleshooting steps
- test with board outside a case (to make sure there's no short circuits)
- check memory & CPU installed correctly
- check CPU socket (no bent pins)
- is your router handing out DHCP correctly?
- connect a power switch to front panel PWR and check if fans spin on power
Thanks.
- no bent pins
- Memory and CPU look good. The RAMS are taken
- not sure about router as I use a TPlink deco and it doesn't have a very informative GUI. I was hoping to use the VGA display at this point.
- The fans don't spin no matter if I push the front panel PWR or short the pins. I tested the PSU on another system and it is good. The cables are good too.
I wonder if anyone else have this fan not spinning issue. I had an ASROCK board which I couldn't make it POST (no fan spinning as well) at first until I found the IPMI. Not sure if this is a similar case.

Shouldn't by design IPMI be available even without RAM and CPU (and consequently any FAN activity) ?
I've tested IPMI side of the board (different brand - SuperMicro) on arrival without buying CPU first.
You're using management network port, not regular LAN ports, right?
Also - if I'm not mistaken my IPMI healthy state is when green led is slowly blinking, not solid-green.
That's why it's sometimes called "heartbeat".
but yes - resetting BMC to factory state sometimes might be the first remedy, e.g. in case if management network has static IP/Mask values manually-configured instead of automatic via DHCP

fast, or slow on/off in second intervals ?
have you set the jumper back to default pos ?
what type of blinkning ?

sure
with default setting the FPGA waits for BMC to be ready, you can not turn on the board before.
J43: Bypass BMC Jumper
slow on/off in second intervals. When this happened I could see BMC MAC in router, but no IP addr. Now the BMC light is solid. I believe I put all the jumpers back to default.
I did try to reset BMC at one point.
I changed J101 and long pressed the ID button.
J101: ID Button Switch
Pin 1-2 Closed: Press 5 seconds for BMC HW Reset
I think after this the BMC MAC stopped showing up in router and the BMC LED became solid.
