Hi there,
My Server has "optimal" Fan Speed setting in ILO6,
but always runs at 52% too high and loud.
All temperatures are low.
Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHi @vipusr ,
I hope this helps!
Please try this steps
- Install the System ROM 2.44, available for download here. Update affected servers with this System ROM version to eliminate the problem.
- Update firmware and drivers to the latest SPP , version 2024.04.00
- In some systems with fewer than 8 drives, the fans may run at lower speeds/noise when separating the drives, increasing the distance between them helps with cooling, thus lowers the fan speeds. For example: with 4 drives, instead of installing drives in slots 1-4 try installing in slots 1,4,6,8. In a 12-drive configuration, instead of Box1 Bay 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Box2 Bay 1,2,3,4 try Box1 Bay 1,2,4,5,7,8 Box2 Bay 1,2,4,5,7,8.
- At the customer's own discretion, use the iLO GUI to change the minimum fan speed in 5% increments to see what is tolerable for their environment. (In the iLO GUI, Under Power & Thermals, set "Minimum Fan Speed".)
- If noise is a major concern, consider configuring the system with SATA SSD drives. These drives can operate with around 13% duty cycle, with very low noise levels.
In addition to this, please refer this Troubleshooting guide, post and all posts related to Noisy fans

Updating to 2.44 solved the problem.
No more configs needed.
(SSD Drives were already used)
