Please excuse my inexperience. This is my first excursion into using server hardware. I just "finished" moving my FreeNAS from consumer hardware to the server case. 2x11-Z3 disk arrays, 2 spares. dual SSD boot drives inside case powered from extra Molex connector from power distributor. Set up network NIC.
When I turn on system the 5 big case fans spin up loudly initially and then get rather quiet when Motherboard boots. I promptly got disk overheat errors from FreeNAS, even when I replaced the case cover to promote air flow. I rebooted several times and got similar disk overtemperature warnings. Since the system fans currently spin slowly and quietly I want to adjust the speed to increase cooling. Its my guess that the fans can cool my disks when spun up to speed. I looked through the BIOS menus and found no fan control options. I search the forum and found discussions about "scripts" and "IPMI" of which I have no knowledge.
Please guide me in the right direction about fan control. I would hate to have to go back to my consumer frankenstein build.
