That's awesome information, I had not seen that before. However, I tried the pwmconfig and it couldn't control the fans. (After configuring and checking with "sensors", I can see the fan speeds, but can not control them -- or IT can't control them.)
Thanks for the info. -AJ ----- Original Message ----- From: "João Seabra" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 2:43 PM Subject: Re: [Efw-user] Server Fan Control >I believe you should check this post: > http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=2313166f5c255ac981c83f060ace0cc6&topic=5548.msg55834#msg55834 > > Long time ago, in more than one occasion I was playing with > lm_sensors/pwmconfig/fancontrol and I'm sure it was on 3 pin fan.I dont > recall ever seeing 4 pin fan on computers/servers. > Don't let the 3 wire/pwm confuse you.Just try it ;-) > > Kind Regards, > João Seabra > > > On Fri, 2010-10-01 at 13:38 -0400, AJ Weber wrote: >> Right.
