Hey everyone, I just got a Dell R540 for my homelab and it’s louder than what I would like. I read that you can adjust the fans through ipmi but as I did more research I found out that Dell patched out the commands on iDrac versions newer than 3.30.30.30

​

So, is it possible to downgrade from version 7.00.00.00 to 3.30.30.30 without bricking my system? Has anyone done this? It is running the latest BIOS as well. (2.19.1)

If noise is a concern, I wouldn’t suggest buying data center rack servers.

Screw dell and the X40, the cooling profile makes no sense.

Thanks Dell, I really need my cpus to be at 27c…

Oh you put in a 50w single slot GPU… let’s ramp your fans up to 43%…
