BMC Fan Profile

The FMADIO Gen4 200G systems utilize a custom FAN profile, this is due to the default fan profile not generating enough static air pressure resulting in un-necessary heat being trapped in the server.

Unfortunately there is no Redfish API to set the Fan profile and it has to be manually configured via the BMC Web Interface, below are the steps required.

Once logged in the display is similar to below

Step 2) Fan Profile

Select SETTINGS on the left side

Select Fan Settings via the Others menu

Fan settings looks like below

Step 3) create fmadio200v4 profile (optional)

If there is no fmadio200v4 setting as highlighted below

Create one by duplicating the default profile

change the name from default → fmadio200v4

And save the new profile as shown below.

Step 4) Configure fan profile

Click on the edit button as highlighted below

Confirm the settings highlighted per below. This sets the fan to run a minimum of 70% duty cycle to ensure sufficient airflow out the system is achieved.

Save the profile

Step 5) Activate profile

Click the Play button as shown below (if its not activated)

If it already is activated (showing a stop button) nothing further is required.

Step 6) Finished

Fan profile is now active.
