INFO

For a Dell Poweredge r420 using ipmitool and crontab - changes fans based on sensor temperatures

#1 These commands work on a Dell r420 (different than the r710) I bet they work on most 12 gen Dell servers, not tested.

#2 I run this commands on a local machine, as opposed to it being remote. Remote is more secure, but I have not exposed it to the internet at this time.

#3 my process is scalable, different temps yield different fan speeds as opposed to ON/OFF

#4 if you adjust one number, it trickles down the scale

I would first find the codes that can set your fan speeds and modify this to suit your needs.

I used this to get Hex codes

This is the redit with info https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/7xqb11/dell_fan_noise_control_silence_your_poweredge/

This one had some good advice https://www.spxlabs.com/blog/2019/3/16/silence-your-dell-poweredge-server

Personal script. Feel free to modify and improve.
