Fan control on Tyan FT77C-B7079

[Vardermir]

Hello everyone,

I'm struggling with what ought to be a simple problem. I want to have the fans on my Tyan server run at maximum speed, 24/7. I've tried a number of different methods to force the fans to run at max speed, including:

1. Trying to find an option in the BIOS. None found
2. Trying to force it via BMC. No option there either
3. Seeing if there are drivers or some other software in order to manually control the fans from Debian. No dice with fan control or anything off arch wiki.
4. Considered going to 4 pin molex, but the fans utilize a connection I'm not familiar with specific to this server

I'd love for any ideas, or even wild guesses on more things to try.

Thank you!

I just wanted to echo that indeed there are no BMC options for this platform, as I have 2 of these servers and they use AST2400s that don't expose any way in the UI, through redfish, or via an IPMI command. I have done some exhaustive work to try but I think the only option is to make your own fan setup.

Does the rpm show up with lm-sensors in linux?

Also do they support HTML5 KVM or only the old java stuff?
(the manual only mentions java but its from 2017 so might have been added later)

sensor detect and such were unfruitful, you can read rpm via ipmitool but not set or modify anything through ipmi.


it does have html5 KVM, and java as well.
