-Thought this can be useful to you as it would to me as a newbie who is technically challenged. This is a feature that should have been set from the factory, as it makes no sense to have the fan running all the time. I'm new at this so please feel free to fix/edit.+I hope this can be useful to you as it would to me as a newbie who is technically challenged.
 +The script (contributed by a collaboration of members here) replaces the factory fan control process,
 +checks for case temperature at set regular intervals and modify fan rotational speed in a positive ratio
 +When drives spin down at idle, the fan will stop as the box temperature lowers to a user defined value.
 +This is a feature that should have been implemented by the D-Link firmware (but isn't), as it makes no sense
 +to have the fan running all the time. It's quite simple to do, and it effectively reduces noise and wear.
 +Please feel free to make corrections.
 +
 +**The Quick and Easy**
 +
 +  * Download {{:hardware:fonz_funplug_0.3_w_fan_control.rar}}.
 +
 +(In script fun_plug variable PATH haven't been set correctly. Correct line is:
 +    PATH=${PATH}:${BINDIR}
 +Somehow device store system variables, so incorrectly set it can cause improper functioning even if you reset device to factory default, or even reburn firmware. In script fan_control.sh we have to add another line:
 +    export PATH
 +right next after PATH declaration line. After these changes HD usage and heat generation of the device dropped dramatically. Another suggestion set temeratures T1 and T2, 97F and 105F accordingly.)
 +  * Open the .rar archive (use [[http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm|WinRAR]]), drop the four files in the archive into your root folder (e.g. /Volume_1/) via ftp or just by simple drag and drop. Reboot immediately.
 +  * After the power light stops blinking, wait one minute. Then telnet into your unit's local IP (default is 192.168.0.32) using a telnet/ssh client (try [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|PuTTY]]) and type
 +
 +
 +    temperature g 0
 +to check your DNS-323's temperature readings.
 +  * If the temperature shows Fahrenheit unit, you are done (you may also type
 +
 +
 +      rm /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.C
 +in telnet to delete the Celsius version script). If it's below 108F, the fan should have stopped. You can type
 +
 +
 +    fanspeed g
 +to check the fan RPM.
 +  * If the temperature shows in Celsius, in the same telnet screen, type:
 +
 +
 +    mv /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.C /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh
 +    reboot
 +The last command of course reboots your unit. After which you can recheck the temperature and fan. If it's below 43C, the fan should have stopped, and you are done. __Warning:__ it's imperative that you follow through steps 3, 4, and 5 to verify temperature units, as the fan may never run if you have the wrong numbers feeding the script, possibly resulting in heat damage to hardware. If you encountered problems and must abort, just remove ctrl_fanspeed.sh from your root directory to reset factory fan
 +control settings.

 +**The Nitty Gritty Steps**

-  - Create a new text file called fun_plug (no extensions), with the following line:<code bash>/mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh</code>save the text file with linux format (LF) to the root directory of your DNS-323 drive (e.g. X:/). Alternatively you can get [[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/|fonz's fun_plug pack]] and add the above line at the end of the included fun_plug file. +  - Create a new text file called [[howto:fun_plug|fun_plug]] (no extensions), with the following line:
-  - create another text file, copy and paste the [["hands-on"]] version of the fan-control script below. Adjust the parameters to your liking (description in comments), though it works fine without any modification. Save the file as ctrl_fanspeed.sh at the root directory (e.g. X:/) of your DNS-323 drive, same location as the fun_plug file. +
-  - Reboot the DNS-323 using D-Link's control page and you are done! +
-You should notice that immediately after booting (when the power light stops flashing) the fan stops. That is if your drive is cooler than the lower limit set in the script (default 108F or 42C). Also make sure your DNS-323 unit reports temperature in F and not C by default (Important! You don't want 108C as lower limit!), something you can do with simple telnet commands.+

 + 
 +save the text file with linux format (LF) to the root directory of your DNS-323 drive 
 +(e.g. /Volume_1/ or just drag and drop into your mapped drive). \\ Alternatively, you can get  
 +[[http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/|fonz's fun_plug pack]] (which adds telnet feature among other things) and add the above line 
 +at the end of the included fun_plug file (don't drop it into /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start/ directory as it's a loop that stops 
 +any script that follows it from loading), or use the folowing lines at the end of the fun_plug file:<code bash># run fanspeed 
 +controller script 
 + 
 +FAN_SPEED=/mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh 
 +if [ -x $FAN_SPEED ]; then 
 + echo "* Running $FAN_SPEED ..." 
 + $FAN_SPEED & 
 + echo "* OK" 
 +fi 
 + 
 +  - Create another text file, copy and paste the "general use" version of the fan-control script below. Adjust the parameters 
 +to your liking (description in comments), though it works fine without any modification (assuming your unit reports temperature 
 +in Fahrenheit). Save the file as ctrl_fanspeed.sh at the root directory (e.g. /Volume_1/) of your DNS-323 drive, same location 
 +as the fun_plug file. 
 +  - Reboot the DNS-323 using D-Link's control page and you are done!
 +You should notice that immediately after booting (when the power light stops flashing) the fan stops. That is if your drive is
 +cooler than the lower limit set in the script (default 108F or 42C), which will eventually be the case after HD spins down at idle,
 +or if you boot the unit cold.
 +Also make sure your DNS-323 unit reports temperature readings that matches the temperature unit in the script, which is
 +in Fahrenheit (Important! You don't want 108C as lower limit!). You can do this with a simple [[howto:telnet|telnet]]
 +command ''temperature g 0''. You will need to convert the temperature parameters in the script if your DNS-323 returns
 +temperature readings in Celsius.
