Allows to control the fans by bios or i8kctl utils.
To enable SMBIOS control:
dell-bios-fan-control 1
To disable SMBIOS control:
dell-bios-fan-control 0
After disabling SMBIOS control of fans you can set fan speed by i8kctl:
i8kctl fan 1 1
-
The BIOS of some newer Dell laptops (9560, ...) will override the speed you set unless you disable the BIOS control.
-
This tool allows to enable or disable bios control of fans to use i8kmon instead
