Currently, I use the following command to set the fan speed of the server after it starts up:

```

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.31.217 -U root -P calvin raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00

ipmitool -I lanplus -H 192.168.31.217 -U root -P calvin raw 0x30 0x30 0x02 0xff 0x0a

```

The problem is whenever the server restarts, the fan speed will change back to its old state.

That's really a problem, for example, if I go out and the power goes out and then comes back on. There will be a huge noise made by the server before I get home.

How I do it.

A bash script that runs on my Truenas Server that manages the fan speeds of my MD1200 and my server. Watches for temperatures and ramps accordingly.
