Not enabling manual fan control #20

Description

Somehow I never noticed PiFan doesn't enable manual fan control at runtime. I must've always done it in a terminal at some point and then ran PiFan.

When my R720 reboots, it reverts back to default automatic fan control. Then, PiFan was not able to effectively change fan speeds.

To fix, add an additional command when change fan speed:

ipmitool -I lanplus -H SERVERS_IP_HERE -U IDRAC_USERNAME -P 'IDRAC_PASSWORD_HERE' raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x00
