You cannot default one value and set another. In other words, if you default the minimum warning threshold value, you are also selecting the default value for the maximum warning threshold value.

Specify a Value for Minimum and Maximum Warning Thresholds

NOTE: Minimum and maximum warning thresholds for the fan probe cannot be set on PowerEdge x8xx and x9xx systems.

If you prefer to specify values for the fan probe warning thresholds, you must specify the number of the probe you are configuring and the minimum and/or maximum warning threshold values. In the following example, the probe that is being configured is probe 0. The first command sets only the minimum threshold; the second sets minimum and maximum thresholds:

omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580

omconfig chassis fans index=0 minwarnthresh=4580 maxwarnthresh=9160

When you issue the command and the system sets the values you specify, the following message appears:

Fan probe warning threshold(s) set successfully.

omconfig chassis fancontrol

Use the omconfig chassis fancontrol command to set fan speed. You can optimize speed for cooling or for quiet operation. Table 4-7 shows the valid parameters for the command.
