(tldr at bottom)
I'm currently using my C6100 as my 'desktop PC' and as you all know.. The fans on them are very powerful and quite loud.
Sometimes after the C6100 has been running for about an hour or so... the fans will drop down to 1/4 or 1/2 speed.. and the noise will be 'bareable'
So I was looking to see how I can change my fan speeds, and I keep coming accross "flash the BIOS of ur FCB"
How do I check my current FCB FW & fan RPM speed? I read that people use IPMI.exe but the closest thing I can find is something from
ipmiutil - IPMI Management Utilities
and that doesn't work.
I also have a folder 'FCB.00_1.18.110826_customer' with DOS, LINUX & Windows folders in them.. As I'm running windows I run the batch file and the .exe but it does nothing.. So I can only asssume i'm doing something wrong
What programs do I need? Do I need to create a bootable USB that flashs the FCB ? Do i need to install a new OS such as linux and do it that way?
TL;dr
All I want is the fans of my c6100 to run at 1/4 or 1/2 speed so that the noise is bareable.(it does this of its own accord sometimes...) There is only 1 node thats active anyway ! I tried removing the fans but that just causes orange lights to flash and server not to boot.. Can someone please point me in right direction?
Thanks
