Prerequisites

• Linux ipmitool, nvidia-smi and optionally sensors packages.

Installing? Easy. Peasy. Lemon Squeezy.

• 1. Upload systemd service file gpu-cpu-fan-control.service to the specified directory on Dell R730xd hardware (NO VM'S, duh).
• 2. Upload gpu-cpu-fan-control.sh OR gpu-cpu-fan-control.py to the specified directory on Dell R730xd hardware.
• 3. Uncomment the appropriate line to enable the bash or python script in the .system service file from step 1.
• 4. Run the 3 commands (using sudo, or as root) below to enable and start the service:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable gpu-cpu-fan-control.service
systemctl start gpu-cpu-fan-control.service

• 5. Check to make sure the service isn't buggered by running the following command (using sudo, or as root):

journalctl -u gpu-cpu-fan-control.service -f
