Fan Speed Control

Kimbie

Hi,

I have a Watchguard x750e and trying to get the fan control to work

I followed this guide https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=66129.0

When i reboot the fans to get quieter but when you get the beeps to say system is ready the fans speed back up. If I go into the shell and type cd /conf
./WGXepc -f 10 they go quiet again.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

You must install the package "Shellcmd",
and after installation , you add this command in Shellcmd :

/conf/WGXepc -f 10

This command lower the fan speed during bootup,
and keeps the fans at lower speed.

I tried that and doesn't work either. I know that command works as if i SSH to the shell and type that it works

Do you use 32bit or 64bit ?
If you use pfSense 64Bit, you must use the 64Bit version of WGXepc -> WGXepc64

After installing the right version of WGXepc,
you must change the read/write permissions with this command :

chmod 0755 /conf/WGXepc (for 32Bit version)
chmod 0755 /conf/WGXepc64 (for 64bit version)

I always add the WGXepc package and chmod command via :
Diagnostics -> command prompt in the Web UI
