# HP-iLO-Fan-Control
**Scripts are available for Linux and ESXi!**
Allows a Simple Fan Curve to be set using the custom ROM made by u/phoenixdev on Reddit. (linked below)
This repo contains all the required files! :)
All you need to run is the commands below.
Currently using ILO4 Version 2.60 - Working on updating to 2.77 <https://github.com/kendallgoto/ilo4_unlock>
## BEFORE PROCEEDING
**READ `SECURITY-SWITCH.MD`, IT INCLUDES A LOT OF INFORMATION.**
## Installation
1. Switch iLO into maintenance mode, then reboot. (On the DL360 G8, this is located near the backplane connectors to the motherboard.)
2. Download the `install.sh` script and run it. This will download all required files and move them, installs the `autofan.service`, and downloads the correct `autofan.sh` based on your input ready to be edited. If you are an advanced user, you can install everything separately.
(Download using `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/That-Guy-Jack/HP-ILO-Fan-Control/main/Install.sh`)
3. Run the `prep.sh` in the `ilo_250` folder. If this errors, it may be because the iLO isn't it maintenance mode. (You may need to run this script as root. When flashing the fans spin up to 100%, so be prepared)
4. > ./flash_ilo4 --direct
5. Once the flash has completed, shut down your system and unplug it. Make sure to switch iLO back out of maintenance mode.
6. Run `systemctl daemon-reload` and `systemctl start autofan` to activate the service.
7. Run `systemctl enable autofan` to start the service on reboot.
8. Enjoy silence! :) And if thats too fast or too slow, edit `autofan.sh` to your needs.
## Tested Servers
### 1U Servers
DL360p Gen8
### 2U Servers
DL380p Gen8
DL380p Gen9
DL80 Gen9 - Tested by @rootless4real
SL4540 Gen8 - Tested by @YoSiJo
HPE 2U StoreEasy 1650 - Tested by @nicr4wks
HP 2U ProLiant XL420 Gen9 - Tested by @bogdik
## Notes
- I recommend especially for the DL360 to add a small 40mm fan to the RAID controller to keep it cool.
- If you have the fan script working on a different server than what's listed in the tested server section, create an issue and I'll add it.
