I really just want a way to adjust the fan control parameters, or disable fan control altogether so that the fans run at full speed. After a recent BIOS upgrade the fans have been stuck at 2/3 speed regardless of temperature. Unfortunately this machine has already been deployed, so if I need console access to adjust the fan speed then it's not going to happen. The "Technical Product Specification" for the SHG2 is here: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/shg2/sb/cs-006520.htm [ ...] Thanks!
