iDRAC9 Display Fahrenheit instead of Celsius

How do I change the LCD on my front bezel to display the temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. Seems like this should be easy to do, but it seems to be eluding me.

@Origin3kappreciate the assistance. I ended up solving this via this thread answer: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/poweredge-r730/r730_ompublication/view-menu?guid=guid-e295e822-98e1-47e4-ac15-e4bc6a656bd0&lang=en-us

I would recommend Dell put this option in the iDRAC interface to be changed. Shouldn't be hard and they should do it on the page for configuring the front panel here: Screenshot 2023-03-27 214007.jpg

Thank you for the quick response!

Havent check where it is in the iDRAC GUI but on command line it should be the following:

C:\>racadm -r remote-esx-node-99 -u root -p calvin help System.LCD.QualifierTemp
QualifierTemp -- Specifies Ambient Temperature Qualifier
Usage -- 0-C; 1-F; Default - 0
Required License -- RACADM
Dependency -- None

C:\>racadm -r remote-esx-node-99 -u root -p calvin set System.LCD.QualifierTemp 1
Object value modified successfully
