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

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.
what doesn't work?
you can not turn the board on with CPU&RAM ?
with default setting the FPGA(CPU control) waits for BMC to be ready, you can not turn on the board before.

J101 back to default ?
want to know things this HW reset does other than a AC power cycle.
we know that already. if the BMC does some init. in flash this takes some time, if you interupt that you can brick the board
same for set to factory in BMCWegGUI, if you get a msg "action done" don't touch the system for at least 5 mintues,
some flash writes are done in background and or after reboot.
