Viewing information and health status of fans
CMC controls the speed of the chassis fan by increasing or decreasing the fan speed on the basis of system events. You can run the fan in
three modes such as Low, Medium, and High (fan oset). For more information about conguring a fan, see the
CMC for Dell PowerEdge
FX2/FX2s Online Help.
To set up the properties of fans by using RACADM commands, type the following command at the CLI interface.
racadm fanoffset [-s <off|low|medium|high>]
For more information about the RACADM commands, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM
Command Line Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals.
NOTE
: The CMC monitors the temperature sensors in the chassis and automatically adjust the fan speed as needed. When
overridden using this command, the CMC will always run the fan to the selected speed even though the chassis does not require
the fans to run at that speed. However, you can override to maintain a minimum fan speed by the racadm fanoffset command.
CMC generates an alert and increases the fan speeds when the following events occur:
• CMC ambient temperature threshold is exceeded.
• A fan stops functioning.
• A fan is removed from the chassis.
NOTE
: During updates of CMC or iDRAC rmware on a server, some or all of the fan units in the chassis rotates at 100%. This is
normal.
To view the health status of fans, in the CMC Web interface, do any of the following:
1 Go to Chassis Overview.
The Chassis Health page is displayed. The upper right section of chassis graphics provides the top left view of the chassis and
