+These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request

+WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are
+monitoring the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to enable
+it if necessary to avoid overheating.
+
+The fan only runs if it's enabled *and* the various temperature
+sensors which control it read high enough. On the X40, this seems to
+depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures. Specifically, the fan is
+turned on when either the CPU temperature climbs to 56 degrees or the
+HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees. The fan is turned off when the
+CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the HDD temperature drops to
+41 degrees. These thresholds cannot currently be controlled.
+
+On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be
+controlled to a certain degree. Once the fan is running, it can be
+forced to run faster or slower with the following command:
+
+        echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
+
+The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from
+about 3700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have
+any effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that
+range. The fan cannot be stopped or started with this command.
+
+On the 570, temperature readings are not available through this
+feature and the fan control works a little differently. The fan speed
+is reported in levels from 0 (off) to 7 (max) and can be controlled
+with the following command:
 
-(I've only been able to identify a couple of them).

-If you try this feature, please send me a report similar to the
-above. I'd like to provide this functionality in an user-friendly way,
-but first I need to identify the which numbers correspond to which
-sounds on various models.
