June 3, 20179 yr Hi. My sensors show Is it supposed to show so little information? I thought there will be default values for me to just replace?

The same happened on one of my servers, there was only data for one of the fans, you can do it on the console: 1) download current config to a text file ipmi-sensors-config --checkout --filename=sensordata.conf 2) use an editor like nano to change the values you want nano -w sensordata.conf ctrl+o to save, ctrl+x to exit nano 3) commit the changes ipmi-sensors-config --commit --filename=sensordata.conf Edited June 3, 20179 yr by johnnie.black
June 3, 20179 yr Thanks johnnie.black, I was able to make some changes. Got this reply after commiting: "Value '250.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Critical_Threshold' in section '138_FAN_1' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Critical_Threshold' in section '138_FAN_1' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '150.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '138_FAN_1' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value" Any ideas?
June 3, 20179 yr Got this: Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '138_FAN_1' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '205_FAN_2' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '272_FAN_3' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value Value '200.000000' for key 'Lower_Non_Recoverable_Threshold' in section '406_FAN_A' cannot be encoded accurately, try another value So by changing back to default numbers, no error in the top 2 digits. The Lower non recoverable number has error.
June 3, 20179 yr Changing the non recoverable to 405 works. I want to emphasize this is the original value that we removed, and tried to replace. How come putting it back worked? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
June 3, 20179 yr Maybe it doesn't work on the X9 series, or it only accepts some specific values, I can test on one of my servers with the same board but most likely not before tomorrow.
June 3, 20179 yr Sorry, I stand corrected. After a few minutes, revving up returned What is a good value? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

June 3, 20179 yr I believe all. That screenshot was taken earlier. They all go up and down Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Stay on the readings page a while, then go to the sensor config and wait a couple of minutes. Then it should appear. I set my lower non-recover, lower critical and lower non-critical thresholds to 0, 100 and 200. I only have X9 boards, so it should work for your X9 also.
June 4, 20179 yr Hi saarg, The values didn't apply to my X9SCM-F. It still asks me to change to another number. Currently, I'm seeing my fan stay at lower non critical value of 540 RPM, so no revving up and down. Don't know if this will remain constant. I'm reading around, and saw others say that Fans 1-4 are based on CPU/ memory zones, and FanA is for use with I/O/Addon cards. This I cut from my manual- "A fan speed control setting in the BI S ard are Monitoring section allo s the BI S to auto- matically set fan speeds based on the system temperature. " I wonder if this has something to do with another problem associated with these settings? My fans, as of the moment, run at 540 RPM, but my HDD temperatures are "HOT, HOT, HOT!" I've already taken my NAS out of the shelf where it's supposed to be, and the back and front is unobstructed. Does it mean CPU fan should be connected to Fans 1-4, and HDDs should be connected to FanA? Specially my case, Fractal Design Node 804 having 2 zones? Motherboard zone, and HDD zone? Hoping to hear more insights from you guys.
June 4, 20179 yr I tested on an X9SCM and it only accepts a different threshold value if it's a multiple of 150, so you can only change the thresholds to 150, 300, 450, etc.
June 4, 20179 yr I out in 0 at lowest non recoverable threshold, it saved, but it's still revving up and down. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Something still wrong with the thresholds, on the IPMI settings, clear the event Log, browse to main page and then go there again after a couples of minutes and post the log.
June 5, 20179 yr 10 hours ago, jang430 said: Hi johnnie.black, Here is my latest screenshot of logs. As it's visible in the logs fans 1, 2 and 3 are going lower than critical, which is set at 540rpm, you need to lower that, set lower critical at 300 and lower non-recover at 0 or 150.
June 6, 20179 yr I just changed Lower Critical to 270. My current numbers are 645, 270, and 0. I did it for all Fans 1-3, and Fan A. Nothing connected to Fan 4, so I didn't change it. It still goes up to 2025, all the way down to 405/540, then jump up once again to 2025, then slowly down again.
