Cost was about $4 for 8 resistors. Turns out Dell decided not to expose the BMC’s fan controller settings to the users. I dont know where the temperature probe is, but when I run a sensor reader, it all comes back as a reasonable ambent 24 centigrade. It also works on R710. Hitman. Here are my results. Well, I was satisfied of my test environment except that my desk was located near the server bay and that the noise was unbearable for a prolongation period of time. I investigated driving the pwm pins from an arduino with uln2003 driver it worked fine and gives the micro almost full control. One blog writes that it sounded like a fleet of jets all taking off at once from an aircraft carrier. I thought it sounded a little more like an air raid siren Iâve heard on movies, or a tornado siren that we hear around here. It actually causes ear pain with the case open.Â. If you try it, please let me know how it went . E: Unable to locate package impitools, run: sudo apt-get update (thats off the top of my head, you just have to update apt-get package lists, this was an issue in Ubuntu 12.04). Actually the OMSA71 worked like a charm. Quiet-PC freaks like me turn to fans that turn slower, yet still push a lot of air. The top server has been ramping it's fans up lately, causing a noticeable increase in volume. What I did: Maybe you could try to run just ./bmcfl32l --help, that should run, incorrectly but it should run. You may want to try your new fans and see if the fan speed alerts are triggered in the BMC. In fact, I got one for $100 used, brought it home and my wife instantly complained about the jet-plane noise. Here I explain the steps on how to configure the raid on a Poweredge 2950 server. Thank you William for sharing this article with us! Below is a view from the back side of the fan, showing both of the cuts that are needed. Theres two things he looked at the mix up of the wires or the modification of the firmware. Thank you. But it seems to be related or part of the Dell ESM. I'm not really complaining about the 100% fan speed on start up, that i can live with. Quick update… since I noticed you were having an issue with the fans ramping up to full blast every 5 minutes or so. You will take the ends of each wire and push them together, so that the âfraysâ sort of intermesh with each other. Notice we also need a notch cut at the corner closest to the wiring from the fan. Read on to see the final steps âDell PowerEdge 2950 Server: Quieting the Loud Fans!â â Part 2 >>>. In case you didn’t open you Dell 2950 yet, there is 4 fans to replace! Let us know how it works out for you if you decide to give it a go. I will do that before next week. Depending on configuration the system may run the fans at … October 2019 . Great stuff, and I bet we’re not the only ones that have encountered this! Random CPU and case fan speed up to maximum. Close. Dell PowerEdge 12th Generation Servers have introduced a fan speed offset setting that enables fan speeds to be increased over those calculated by the Dell Thermal Control algorithm. Thanks again. They are the original (stock) fans that came with the server, I believe they’re Sunon branded. I have a rack with 4 x Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers, and 1 x Dell PowerEdge 6850 (which is in position 2 of 5, counting from the top down). Generating alerts and blowing the fans full speed. You’re very welcome! Anyone know of a way to control the fan speeds on a 2950 without having to hack the BMC firmware? http://imgbox.com/3jTYETOL. But yet, it was helpful. In case you didn’t open you Dell 2950 yet, there is 4 fans to replace! ... What i have learned is very interesting the minimum fan speed that can be set is 3000rpm ie cutting the blue wire and connecting the blue wire from the fan to the black wire sets the fan speed at 3000rpm. Maybe the libs needed could be included in the BMC’s firmware? Failed to Load Library\”, I\’ve also gone ahead and attached a screenshot. Joined: 1 Dec 2005 Posts: 803. http://imgbox.com/Smy5yLZE I’m sorry this is Turing into such a problem. I have been disappointed since the day I bought this server 6 months ago over the noise. Matching up the correct wires from the old connector to the new fan is crucial. Best of luck with the servers, and the noise/ramping. I\’m in the bmc_firmware directory but it also gives me the failed to load library error. IMPORTANT! … Yes, that’s probably your problem. The only other thing I canthink of is that the RAID battery was dying and has now died completely, would that affect it do you think? Dell PowerEdge R220 fan speed high when idle, low under stress. Regards. Seeing as the old fans sound like a fleet of fighter jets, rewiring the fans incorrectly just might cause the universe to implode. My server is just in my home and I could hear it from the other room, thus keeping me awake at night. The gray connector (bottom right), and the surrounding attached black plastic bracket (not shown here), will be rewired and connected to the new fan (top left). Problem solved! 4) I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting stuff… So be careful when you do this if you are reading this comment and aren't experienced. With the solder wire in the other hand, touch the solder wire to the top side of the connecting wires and quickly melt just a drop or so onto the wire. https://puu.sh/BMm0C/9667a94952.png. Thanks for the update. I know this page is a little old but any help would be greatly appreciated. Download the latest BMC firmware to the server. So also make sure you are looking at the connector in the same position as shown below. Weâll discuss the notch cut more in the next image. Maybe a different motherboard will do the trick. The fans themselves show a lower threshold of 2025 rpm (or whatever value I set them to), but all 4run at a constant 13025rpm! I’m just wondering if you managed to get some time to look into this issue or if you managed to find a fix as I haven’t heard from you in a while. still alittle noisy but functional … This is the main reason youâll need a band saw or hack saw, which weâll get to here in just a bit. Cheers! 1) If you use Ubuntu for the patching process you will have to get some stuff that is available to Red Hat distros such as rpm and change some things in the environment. Do i need my server connected to the internet for this? Nikumba. The new fans do not play well with this plastic ridge and have a protruding side that prevents it from sliding down into place. Discussion in 'Servers and Enterprise Solutions' started by Shad, 5 Aug 2012. Then, carefully place the soldering iron under the wires at the point where they connect, and gently touch the bare wires for a moment. Show only OP | 5 Aug 2012 at 19:32 #1. To improve your tutorial, it would be nice to include how (...), Thanks for your quick answer. EDIT: Updated script to get the correct reporting on R610. One thing I ran into that you may or may not have run into yourself is 2 of my fans were put to 1600RPM once the server did it's check. You can find him on Google+ and Twitter. Once I flash I get the following error. Hi Tim, No issues, in my company we did it on 3 2950, 2 version II and 1 version III. My fan RPM’s are now between 5025rpm and 5375rpm and the noise is a lot better. The cuts will ONLY be made to the new fans before reinserting them into the server. Eventually run ls -lah in the bmcfl32l and post the output here. A tutorial for adding resistors to fans can be found at http://www.ratzblog.com/2014/08/reducing-dell-poweredge-pe-295029002800.html. The version II were hot but not enough to trigger any alarm even during the summer in Beijing without AC. The sound though … is nice :0) we're somewhere in the 30 – 40db range. I used Ubuntu 13.04 Desktop. I continued to investigate (...), Thanks to the feedback! You might check out Adrian's post earlier in the conversation above about a possible fix for the ramping fluctuations. First, make sure you have a heat shrink tube placed over each wire as noted below (this one happens to be clear, but the tubes in folowing images are light blue) before soldering. These paths are relative paths so you need to be in the correct directory to run the command (Probably $HOME/bmc_firmware). memory / battery problem were detected .the adapter has recovered, but cached data was .press lost key to continue. I hold no responsibility for any damage you could do to your equipment! The stock fans are very noisy. The result is wow ! Is this a rack-mount server or a desktop PC re-purposed as a server? Please keep this in mind. What did you do? Active 2 years, 7 months ago. This server is always run at home and on both power supplied. The alternative command you give if receiving the `typeset not found` error is the same as the previous. by DXSdata | Jan 17, 2019 | Administration | 0 comments. will the resistor way bring down the noise to a acceptable level – or it is better to replace the fan? make a short circuit of B2 & B3 pin from power supply might be a solution too, the fans will work under low speed always. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. With -/+ 1000 rpm fluctuations. Just make sure you match up the wires in the left image (from the old connector) to the wires in the right image (from the new connector that will be discarded), as noted by which spot the wire comes out of the connector. On linux, an absolute path starts with a / (not a dot). I also could not get impitool for some reason so I just skipped it. Just completed this mod on a Dell 2950. If the BMC is not able to able to read the speed and modulate the power, it will report errors. Maybe you forgot to cd to this directory to run the flashing command? Unfortunately, the colors of the wires do not sync up between the two fan parts. I had a similar issue and found that upgrading the BIOS cured it. Should I use a different version of CentOS or different version of the bmc firmware? After a little research, our choice went for this fan: SUNON PMD1206PMB3-A. The ends of each wire should be sort of âfrayed.â Leave the wires this wayâ¦you donât want to twist the ends to make them more pointed. If you notice, we have grayed out the wire colors intentionally. Did you try getting the latest version of the BMC from http://downloads.dell.com/esm/ ? If the maximum temperature is too close to the current reading, the fan spins faster trying to cool it off. You've got to stuff them in there, but they work just fine. Modifying the cooling should be an extra reason for you to configure SMTP, SMS or SNMP with your DRAC or OpenManage. Cheers. Awesome instructions! This brings my system down to 53db outside the case. It's guys like you that make Linux and its associated distros, the greatest collection of operating systems in existence. I have seen several blog posts for people who have done this for similar models. The picture below should help visualize how to do this.

I don’t know if there is enough space to but a resistor big enough and heat from the resistor could be a problem. Dell PowerEdge fan speed - change fanspeed offset The BMC/iDRAC in is programmed to set fan speed min/max and adjust values based on factors like ambient temperature and system configuration. You can also add the same resistors to the power supply fans also which I have done. Ask Question Asked 6 years, 1 month ago. Is it me or the last 2 characters of the line you typed are if instead of -f? This is because you should pay no attention to wire colors when connecting. Try to move the heat shrink tube to make sure it’s not going anywhere. Update 2015-08-15: This article describes how to add resistors to the fans to reduce the fans’ speed. I ended up having to flash the BMC Firmware with lowered fan thresholds. Per OpenManage, they are spinning at 3100-3900 rpm range.. they seem to be cycling in that range, probably due to a big decrease in current. You could damage your system if the system gets too hot. 2 years ago. This set of tutorials is not intended for anyone not willing to take a risk of using fans that could possibly cause the server temperatures to get too hot (which obviously could be bad.)

When the new black outer bracket (containg the gray connector) is placed around the fan, youâll notice right away the wires will be creased up almost flat against the fan itself (as shown in the image below of a unit that is nearly finished, showing wire placement.) The original dimensions of the fan are 60mm x 60mm, so the replacement fans should be the same size. IIRC, the originals were also 38mm deep, but virtually all replacement fans will be less than that since they donât have has large a motor, and smaller is OK in this case. The Drac is what controls the fans so you need to verify that the BIOS and Drac are current. T330 | R610 | DS4243. So my original threshold was 2025. Cheers! I see some cycling of fan RPM, but it is so quiet that I don't notice it. Weâll discuss how and where to make the cuts next. I am looking into several options to reduce server noise from my Dell PowerEdge 2950. You can replace the fan but as mentioned earlier, will need to edit the bios if the RPM of the fans drop below 2025rpm. Dell PowerEdge 2950 fan speed. When you raise the maximum temperature, the fan relaxes. On my Poweredge 2500, the only way I've found to control the fan speed is to adjust the temperature thresholds. This may take a little bit of practice before you get the hang of it. I tried, doesn’t seem like it’s going to do it because it is 64 bits and the flash utilities looks for 32 bits libs. the fans are constantly revving up and down and i get error 1313. i couldnt flash the dat file through linux since i kept getting errors although when i \”update\” the firmware it says im going back to 2.37. any help would be awesome. I had to order them from China had trouble sourcing them to the UK. Acknowledgments . Tutorial. Silencing Dell PowerEdge Rack Server Fans. Fan MOD - Lower the Fan speeds to reduce the noise; Firmware mod - Lowering the BMC fan rpm thresholds ; Update: I stress tested the server after the mod, check here for details - Dell PE 2950 Stress test 01.

Holy crap you responded I’m so happy to hear from you if you help me figure this out I will finally get a days rest after 3 days of trying to figure this out hahaha. I took a dremmel tool and just carved out the part that needed to go so that it could seat itself in there all nice. The only hiccups I had were on Dell's side, namely that their flashing suite (at least the only one I could find for the 2950) refused to do anything on a non-rpm (Fedora, CentOS, etc.) If you are concerned about the fan speed (and noise) consider this. After some quick investigation, it became apparent that the bulk of the noise came from the four Dell cooling fans (for reference, fan model number was F126025BU.)Â. The plug needs to be changed and the wires remapped. I used an antec tricool. Are you using CentOS live? If you don’t, the server’s firmware actually lowers the fan’s speed under it’s own LCR, panics, spins them back up a 100%, lowers them again etc. Solder the wires and have heat shrink tube to cover it. Both the version II had to have their firmware replaced but not the version III. I suggest you make sure the libraries paths are correct. Probably took an hour and half for me to get through this – and was it ever worth it! Seems I got the right libs (tho they needed to be renamed) from https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/deb/OMSA_6.4/i386/srvadmin-hapi_6.4.0-1_i386.deb (don’t remember if it’s the exact package). I meant to use the absolute path of the file. \”Baseboard Management Controller Flash Utility Version: 1.33 Copyright 2003-2007 Dell Inc. All Rights Reserved. Failed to Load Library `. Simple steps to silence a Dell PowerEdge 2950 by replacing the fans and upgrading the BMC firmware. Once you pull the fans out (by lifting on the orange handles), youâll need to free each original fan from its bracket. This just takes a little inspection and pressure in the right places. You should end up with three pieces like this: With your wire cutters or wire strippers, carefully cut all the wires in one cut (making the cut somewhere in the middle or a bit towards the old fan.). Failed to Load Library [email protected]:/home/rsts/bmc_firmware#, I\’m fairly new to Linux so hopefully an easy fix for someone who knows what they\’re doing… I hope! Disclaimer: Improper use of IPMI command can cause damage to your equipment. This is because the Dell Firmware is written for Red Hat. Great to hear it worked as well for you as it did for us. I did not replace the fans – Instead, I used 68 ohm resistors in parallel (34 ohms resistance) – which also cuts the current through each in half (no more getting warm). Dell servers in general are optimized for high performance and not to be quiet. Be sure not do have sharp edges to your solder. Hey so i created the .dat file and edited it to 1150 rpm and no change. Tutorial . Type/Make: NMB-MAT (Minebea Motor Manufacturing Corporation) I don’t think changing hardware would help because it’s an OS-level error (path not found). If someone out there could advise that would be so greatly appreciated. I found a blog explaining step-by-step (noob friendly) how to put resistors in each fan, and after that patching the BMC. Make sure you strip about a half inch of the plastic off the ends of all of the wires shown below. It is intended for anyone that might have powered down their servers and stored them away just because they canât take the noise anymore. I set the fans to a speed of 15 (1125 rpm) and flashed the bios, no change. In the image below, you can see the final cut on the corner of each fan casing (only to the offending corner of each fan that prevents them from sliding into the server fan slots.) Many thanks. But I’d check the wires as well for sure. Here is a photo of ls -lah, I tried again following your eveyday step but end up with the same result. I replaced the 47 ohm resistors with 22 ohm resistors. Have you tried lowering fan speeds? To account for this, we have tested to find which wires, according to their connectors, serve what purpose. This photo shows a little bit better view of how and where you should make the notch cut with your blade saw or hack saw. I’ve successfully flashed the bmc firmware so I don’t get anymore fan rpm errors but I can hear the fans surging up and down in speed. Note that obviously, you also need to move the orange fan casing from the original to the new fans.

Hello Josh, When you run ./BMC_FRMW_LX_R202152.BIN --extract bmc_firmware it should have created a directory bmc_firmware. For the first server I tweaked this was not an issue ( I bought 7 poweredge servers .. accidentally… long story ). You may even be able to make all cuts with a Dremel tool, but youâll have to test that yourself. The BMC has speed warning and failure thresholds. Sounds like you got that ramping fans issue under control now. I've got it in a GizMac quiet enclosure and it's still way too loud. I am stuck at the bmcfl32l does not exist error as well. Hello again. In this question I want to explore the idea of changing all the case fans to quieter models. When I flash it I get this.
