## Fan Speeds
The Brocade firmware has the ability to set fan speeds and quiet it down. [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbMITnNv2FM) shows the audible difference. The OS has 3 fan speeds it automatically cycles through as temperature rises and falls. To bypass this and lock the fan speeds at the lowest level, run the below:
```
fan-speed 1
```
Take a look at the output of ```show chassis``` and make sure your temperatures are below the indicated warning level. For 90% of environments, ```fan-speed 1``` will still keep it plenty cool.
If you'd like to get more advanced, there's also the ```fan-threshold``` command, which allows you to customize the temperature thresholds for each fan level, instead of locking it to one speed - but that's beyond this guide.

Flashing the switch resets the base MAC address to a default 00e0.5200.0100 - on its own this isn't a problem, but if you connect multiple flashed switches you're going to have serious collision issues.
