I'm no PE expert but IIRC, OpenManage allows you to simply see what the fans are doing and to manage the notification settings for when fans behave outside their designated speeds. That is, you can set at what speed you will be notified of an issue or at what speed the server will be automatically shut down - nothing more - IIRC. I'm also not sure at what speed a 'normal PE R610 spins it's fans but it all depends on what is installed inside the chassis, the CPU load and the room temp. If these details are spelt out, maybe someone can indicate if your fan speeds are within "normal" for your R610 or if you might have a h/w fault that should be addressed.  In reality, Dell has designed the PE cooling strategy based on their view of how their machines should be used (in cooled server room) and based on the warranty they provide (years). As such, Dell provides no tools or methods to manage the logic of how the installed equipment inter-operates with the fan speed which inter-operates with the temperature sensors. This logic is within the BIOS/BMC and it's a no go area for owners, you just can't play with these preset curves/settings. BIOS and BMC firmware updates may also help to quiet down your machine if Dell has improved/changed the logic.... Having said all this, some few have found hacking their BMC/BIOS and installing slower fans a workaround in their old unsupported machines, see this project page and this project page for some insight on what may be involved should you want to go down this unsupported path....
Hi, I have this R610 server with Dell OpenManage packages installed, srvadmin-*! Now.. the server is incredibly LOUD because of the cooling system and no matter tha preset I choose on BIOS (Maximum performance, OS or Active demand) the coolers are always on 8000+ rpm. I've been googling all day to see if I can get to manage this but no luck, when I try to set the value using OpenManage cli tool I get: root[NAME]:~# omconfig chassis fans index=0 warnthresh=defaultError! Default fan threshold setting unavailable for index: 0.And this is how the fans are looking like now: root[NAME]:~# omreport chassis fansFan Probes Information Fan RedundancyRedundancy Status : Full Probe ListIndex : 0Status : OkProbe Name : System Board FAN MOD 1A RPMReading : 9840 RPMMinimum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Maximum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Minimum Failure Threshold : 1920 RPMMaximum Failure Threshold : [N/A] Index : 1Status : OkProbe Name : System Board FAN MOD 2A RPMReading : 9840 RPMMinimum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Maximum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Minimum Failure Threshold : 1920 RPMMaximum Failure Threshold : [N/A] Index : 2Status : OkProbe Name : System Board FAN MOD 3A RPMReading : 9720 RPMMinimum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Maximum Warning Threshold : [N/A]Minimum Failure Threshold : 1920 RPMMaximum Failure Threshold : [N/A]  .. And so on, all the same. Please, I'm completely lost, if I can't manage this with dell's official OpenManage tool, then what? Thanks
