How to Set Static Fan Control on Dell BMC IPMI Settings

Move the lab cabinet from the DC to Home Office and that thing is noisy ! b y default it run around 9k RPM so  I wanted to lower it to 3K

– Dell Fan Control Commands:
Senors read out: ipmitool -I lanplus -H [interface] -U [username] -P [password] sdr list full

Enable manual/static fan control:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H [interface] -U [username] -P [password] raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00
Disable manual/static fan control: ipmitool -I lanplus -H [interface] -U [username] -P [password] raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x01

Set fan speed to 20%: Enable manual/static fan control: ipmitool -I lanplus -H [interface] -U [username] -P [password] raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x14

0x14 is the Hex value of the # you want in DEC so in this case : 20
