I can’t say – I always used only full screen video, so I don’t know if the colors of the slide itself are different.

Thank you very much for your post and replay. It finally works and it looks exactly as I wanted. Just one thing, in the slide that has the video on, the colors are brighter than other slides, is this normal?

Well, you just click on the link. There, you download the package that corresponds to your Ubuntu version and platform. For example, if you have Ubuntu Lucid i386, you download the file acroread_9.4-1lucid1_i386.deb. After downloading, it should be enough to click on it in order to install it.

1)Sorry should of read were do I get the modified bmcflsh.dat file for the 1900 server.

Ace I have one of the 1900 Gen 2…downloaded PE1900BmcA10 which has 4 files in it including bmcflsh.dat dated 19/9/2008. Were do I get the new modified .bin file from or do I have to make it somehow?

Thanks

No it’s not possible to reduce the fan speeds by modifying the BMC only.

You have to replace the stock fans with models that turn slower. My hack only allows to do this, as there’s a threshold in the BMC preventing you from using fans with low RPM.

Read the two posts related to fans linked above under “Main howto posts” and you’ll understand.

I read you article and wanted to know if its possible to reduce my fan speed on a dell poweredge 2800 that is running on window. I have spent some time now trying to figure out the BMC but to no avail.

Could you send me some specific instruction on modifying the bios. I am a very new to server management.

I don’t think so no.

I can get ambient and CPU temps and these are fine, as are the SATA hard drives I ‘ve now got in there but the memory was way too hot for my liking.

I’m running ESXi on mine so I can’t query the sensors directly and have to rely on the health monitoring in VMWare and OpenManage for information.
