Fan doesn't spin - captainmorgan - 08-04-2021

I bought 2 pin fan and connected it to the fan header on the RockPro64 board. Installed OMV on the MMC, it boots up fine but the fan doesn't spin. Did I buy a broken fan/board or do I need to flick a switch somewhere?

You need ATS software to control the fan.

It seems the problem is with the OMV image. I've now installed Armbian and the fan started spinning immediately, no additional software was required.
