PAN-5060 Fans running at Full Speed

L0 Member

My 5060 fans are running at full speed at all times. I attempted to run the follow command "set system setting fan-mode auto" in Operation and Configure mode and it will not work. Getting the "invalid syntax" error.

 

Any thoughts???

Hi, the command is only working on a PA-200, it's nomal that the fans running at full speed.

the fans on the larger chassis will always run at full speed to keep the unit at optimal temperature

 

the fan-mode command only works on the PA-200 to make it more quiet in case it is running in the office rather than in a datacenter

Any way to "hack" around that? Full speed fans are overkill and unnecessary.

not that i'm aware of. Is there a use case for keeping the fan speed down ?

 

you could reach out to your sales contact so they can create a feature request to have this added to larger chassis

I believe that the assumption is that while the PA-200 may be setup on a shelf in an office, where you would want the fans spinning up only if they actually need to be, everything larger would likely be mounted in a rack and put in a data closet or a DC. To my knowlege there is no fan controller onboard any of the larger units, meaning that the fan is either on an on or off state.
