Setting the Fan Speed

There are two fan speed settings available on the J6000 workstation. The RackMount fan speed is used for J6000s that are installed in a rack. The DeskSide fan speed is used for J6000s that are used as desk-side systems. These fan speeds are set using the Boot Console Handler (bch). To set the fan speeds, follow the procedures discussed in this section.

Rack-Mount Fan Speed

If you currently have a desk-side workstation that you want to convert to a rack-mount workstation, you need to change the workstation’s fan speed. To do this, follow this procedure:

1.Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears. Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation.

2.Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to the Boot Console Handler’s (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the Main Menu prompt appears, type:

Main Menu: Enter command > configuration

3. Enter the following command at the Configuration Menu prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice RackMount

4.Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot

Desk-Side Fan Speed

If you currently have a rack-mount workstation that you want to convert to a desk-side workstation, you need to change the workstation’s fan speed. To do this, follow this procedure:

1.Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears. Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation.

2.Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to the Boot Console Handler’s (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the Main Menu prompt appears, type:

Main Menu: Enter command > configuration
