add IDs for 850/860/SC1435/R805; clarify supported generations #5

Closed adaugherity closed 5 years ago

adaugherity commented 5 years ago

I've added IDs for these models, based on running dell-adjust-fan-thresholds.py on the BMC firmware Dell provides for each of them, and cross-referencing with the ipmitool sensor output of running systems.

I also clarified supported generations in the README and made minor grammar corrections.

PowerEdge R805:

Systems found in firmware file:

  1) unknown PowerEdge (code: VESO)
     Number of fans: 8
     Fan names     : FAN 1 RPM, FAN 2 RPM, FAN 3 RPM, FAN 4 RPM, FAN 5 RPM, FAN 6 RPM, FAN 7 RPM, FAN 8 RPM
     Fan speeds    : 1275, 1275, 1275, 1275, 1275, 1275, 2400, 2400
     Sensor numbers: 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55

This was easy, it was the only model in the firmware file. Luckily it matches the IPMI sensor output (column 2 is the current reading; column 6 is the low RPM threshold):

Disclaimer: I haven't tried actually flashing firmware with modified speeds on any of these. They live in server rooms (at least until the rest of them are finally retired), so noise isn't a huge concern for me, but this project still seems useful, so I'm happy to contribute!

Awesome, thanks for your contribution! (I can't believe this project is still going on... ;) )
