Lower fanspeed on PA-500 so it can be used close to a desktop environment (or at home)?

mikand — Fri, 22 Jan 2016 22:41:44 GMT

With PA-200 there is a command similar to:

set system setting fan-mode auto

in order to throttle the onboard fan(s) so it doesnt rev up to max rpm and stays there as it normally might do.

But this command doesnt seem to exist for the PA-500 series or am I missing somthing here?

All I could find is (output from: show system environmental):

----Fans----
Slot Description Alarm RPMs Min RPM

S0 Fan #1 Operational False True 1

S0 Fan #2 Operational False True 1

Doesnt seem to even detect a RPM, the sound can confirm the fans are operating...

That command is for PA200 box only.
