		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Allows a Simple Fan Curve to be set using the Custom ROM by u/phoenixdev on reddit (linked below)
 | 
			
		||||
In this Repo all files that you need are included : )
 | 
			
		||||
The folder contians the unpacked ilo with the replacement rom pre copied. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
all you need to run is the commands below.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
STEPS: 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
1. Switch Ilo into Maintainance mode. On the Dl360p Gen8 This is located near the backplane conectors on the motherboard. (images in the images file) then reboot.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
2. Download and copy to you server the ilo_250 Folder
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
3. Then run These commands: 
 | 
			
		||||
/etc/init.d/hp-ams stop
 | 
			
		||||
/etc/init.d/hp-health stop
 | 
			
		||||
/etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents stop
 | 
			
		||||
rmmod hpilo
 | 
			
		||||
modprobe -r hpilo (on non root users you may need to add sudo to this command)
 | 
			
		||||
cd ilo_250
 | 
			
		||||
./flash_ilo4 --direct (on non root users you may need to add sudo to this command) (also When Flashing the Fans may spin up to near 100% so be prepared)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
4. Once the flash has completed shudown your system and unplug it. Make sure to Switch the ilo back out of maintainance mode.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
5. Create a file called autofan.service in /etc/systemd/system/ and copy this code: 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[Unit]
 | 
			
		||||
Description=Fan Speed Controler using autofan.sh
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[Service]
 | 
			
		||||
Restart=always
 | 
			
		||||
RestartSec=10s
 | 
			
		||||
ExecStart=/bin/bash /autofan.sh
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
6. Copy the Autofan.sh to the / directory
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
7. Run systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl start autofan
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
8. Create a corontab command to start the systemd service on startup: @reboot systemctl start autofan
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
9. enjoy silence : ) and if thats to fast or slow edit the autofan.sh to your needs.
