This repo is forked from
[NoLooseEnds/Scripts](https://github.com/NoLooseEnds/Scripts/tree/master/R710-IPMI-TEMP),
extended to drive demand based on device temperature excesses.
Of course, for your Poweredge server of a different generation, with
different cards fitted, you may have more temperature sensors you may
want to monitor. There's some additional sensors you may want to look
at via [commands documented
here](https://www.spxlabs.com/blog/2019/3/16/silence-your-dell-poweredge-server).
There are completely separate implementations as well. Here's
someone's [docker container that fixes the speed until core
temperatures are
breached](https://github.com/tigerblue77/Dell_iDRAC_fan_controller_Docker),
or [this code which implements distinct speed levels and
hysteresis](https://github.com/nabijaczleweli/tarta-crust/blob/master/r710_fan_controller/usr/local/libexec/r710_fan_controller.sh).
