Got these two servers for free, they are pretty fun and nice to use!

    If the management interface doesn’t support changing the fan speeds, check to see if the IPMI commands will workk for it.

    Picked up an old Dell server years agonwith their IDRAC 6 interface. Turned out that version of their IDRAC didn’t support fan management, but it also accepted raw ipmi commands. Was able to slow the fans down to the point where you don’t even notice them.

      I did this for a R715 from Dell, works like a charm indeed, but I can’t find any documentation about this on old HP gear…
