Confirmed working. It's not really a 3-PIN JST PH 2.0 but it does fit (very snug). I'm just stoked to have a fan cooling the crazy x557 chipset when the system is only running BMC.
supermicro and the main customer don't want false alarms.
it is designed to RUN in a server chassis, install, turn on, turn off after 2/3 years for scrapping / replaced by next gen.
Yea. I figured that these boards are meant for 24/7 of constant use or just powered on. But this is a good work around for outlier use cases.
supermicro uses Molex ( micro blade ) but they are hard to get in small counts. if you need only one JSTs are a good solution.
cross posting here because I suspect this is of interest to people in this thread as well. In the pursuit of making my X10QBi quiet, I've been digging into
I don't have a good feel for how well this scales to other boards, however.
ipmitool raw commands to better understand how it works, with some limited success. If you have an interest in understanding fan control for this specific board, or how ipmitool raw allows one to manipulate the fan controller directly, have a read of my investigation here: https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...icro-sys-4048b-trft.27636/page-13#post-488188I don't have a good feel for how well this scales to other boards, however.
