X13SAE-F compatibility - Githubissues

@hcgonzalezpr reported an issue here about compatibility of X13SAE-F motherboard. This issue was created to hold discussion and investigation on this.

Hi @hcgonzalezpr, do you know how many zones do you have and how the fans are assigned to them?

Hi @hcgonzalezpr, do you know how many zones do you have and how the fans are assigned to them?

Yes just 2 zones, I used set_ipmi_fan_level.sh to identify the Fan Zone Assignment.

Screenshot Color	Zone Fans	Zone ID
Yellow	CPU_FAN[1-2]	0
Red	SYS_FAN[1-3]	1
Purple	None	None , static AIO Pump no PWM

Here the output from ipmitool sensor | grep FAN, the Lower Critical Error goes to the closest available value set.

Output : CPU_FAN1 | 980.000 | RPM | ok | na | 140.000 | na | na | na | na CPU_FAN2 | 980.000 | RPM | ok | na | 140.000 | na | na | na | na SYS_FAN1 | 840.000 | RPM | ok | na | 140.000 | na | na | na | na SYS_FAN2 | 840.000 | RPM | ok | na | 140.000 | na | na | na | na SYS_FAN3 | 840.000 | RPM | ok | na | 140.000 | na | na | na | na

Thanks for the input. Let us try to setup the sensor threshold for the fans. In script set_ipmi_threshold.sh there are build-in fan names. You may edit them or you can apply commands in terminal. For example these are the proper commands for CPU_FAN1:

ipmitool sensor thresh CPU_FAN1 lower 0 100 200
ipmitool sensor thresh CPU_FAN1 upper 1600 1700 1800

The 6 thresholds should be calculated from your fan specification. See this chapter in README for more details.

Let me know if the command are working manually.

I did update the hardcoded names on set_ipmi_threshold.sh and found the error and started drilling down before I made the post, for now I have the fan hardcoded at 80% so they are not running at 100% all the time.

For this board it looks it only does assertion events for Lower Critical only as that the only trigger is able to generate regardless of running the FANS at different speeds.

To me it looks like a limitation of X13 BMC controller, as its implementation is a bit rough around the edges and unfinished compared to X10, with this ipmi threshold issue, lack of bios update via the BMC, half finished HTML5 IKVM implementation working on section of its menu but not the other, even though it has the correct BMC license, but I'm going a bit off topic, I'm using the latest BMC Firmware (Ver: 01.01.25 Built: 12/05/2023)

Back to the threshold, I also manually try setting the thresh using ipmitool sensor thresh <id> <threshold> <setting>, and only lcr applies without the error shown below. Im using NF-A15 for the Sys fans and NF-A14 for the CPU fans, I also calculate the threshold looking at Noctua specs and testing them with fan_measurement.sh modified to use the X13 Fan names.

For reference I'm using ipmitool (1.8.19-2) on Arch Linux and also try the other tools listed on Arch IPMI Wiki, but none of them were able to setup anything beside the Lower Critical threshold

I tend to agree with your statement on missing thresholds for AST2600 (or this motherboard), but I think smfc will still work properly because IPMI FULL_MODE and the fan level setting is working properly.

I do not know how would you use this (connected fans and and zones you would like to use), but creating a proper configuration seems to be feasible. Let me know your view.

In reality just wanna a better fan curve than what Supermicro offers as the original values keep throwing the Noctua fans to zero RPM causing a bunch of assertion events.

For now I'll use the zone for their original intended purpose, the SYS fans are in front of the drives and the CPU fan are driving CPU exhaust. I'll try smfc over the weekend and report back on the findings or any other changes needed to account from the slightly different naming format.

I just test it out and it works without any modifications to the smfc service, only the ipmi bash scripts need to be modified when testing.

Hi @hcgonzalezpr, not sure it you managed to run smfc, let me know about your experiences.

An additional idea came into my mind to check the threshold values for AST2600: Please execute the following command to show the attribute for a fan. For example you can find CPU_FAN1 in your output and paste it here. In my case this is:

$ ipmitool -v sensor

If you are interested, you can also check Super Micro own IPMI tool called IPMICFG. You can download it from here. It has slightly different syntax but same functionality.

@petersulyok I did get it to work without modifying the any code of smfc, it's been working great for a few weeks. Bellow the output as requested, I do have Intel NVME drives, but these are not detected by the IPMI, but I can still get temp using lm-sensors , I'm also running ArchLinux so I had tried Super Micro impicfg, it gives the same results as the other tools.

Thanks for the feedback. I think we can agree that smfc is running on AST2600 platform with minor differences in fan thresholds.

I made some tweaks to fan_measurement.sh for my X13SAE-F, the output wasn't accurate due to fan name differences. This should allow for variances in fan names. I also have an X10 board to test but TrueNAS doesn't let me use ipmitool from the terminal and I haven't investigated how to work around that yet.

Hi @JSouthGB, thanks for the suggestion. I like the automatic FAN name detection in the updated script. I'll include this in the smfc release, too.
