Hi

 

I have FG501E with one of its FAN high RPM speed (very noisy).

Is there a way to reduce its speed?

 

Thanks

    I searched online but found only chassis/blade-base model 5xxx series has FAN RPM settings on the chassis.

    And 1000 series or above seems to have a command to see RPMs like 1000D below:

    xxx-fg1 (global) # execute sensor list

    -<snip>-

    19 Sys Fan 1         alarm=0  value=3200  threshold_status=0 20 Sys Fan 2         alarm=0  value=3200  threshold_status=0 21 Sys Fan 3         alarm=0  value=3400  threshold_status=0 -<snip>-

     

    This command doesn't exist at least on 200D. I guess 50xE is the same. So you probably need to do RMA.
