R730XD Considerations
For the noise, if it becomes a problem that you can't tune through idrac, then keep an eye on my fan control daemon on github. I am just getting my R730xd online now (came here to reddit to see whether anyone else is annoyed that https://linux.dell.com has just gone offline, after successfully using it all day to get firmware updated), and plan on continuing to use that daemon if necessary (it runs on my R520 that the 730xd will eventually replace). I'll push changes through as I discover issues.
- Passing arguments in Perl?

PowerEdge 730xd Homelab Server Feedback
- If you install drives that it doesn't understand the temperature sensor output from (my WD Blues, for example), the fan minimum will punch up to 66%. You can override this by disabling the automatic fan control and operating the fans yourself. There are a few scripts out there, like the PowerEdge Shutup script (which you run on a remote device like a rPi) and u/spacelama's R710 Fan Control script (which I use on my R730xd fine). Only downside is fans are super high during startup and shutdown, even compared to the normal high fans on startup

Noisy Dell R730XD
I use https://github.com/spacelama/R710-Fan-Control/ on my R730XD, as I have non-Dell SSDs installed and it's the only way to keep fans below 60%. You need to enable the virtual network interface for iDRAC to be connected to directly from your running OS, otherwise you will need to setup a user for the script to connect as over your regular network.

Dell R730 questions
u/gambcl, here is the script I have on mine to control the fans. It adjusts for load and can hand back fan control to the Dirac if it is unable to keep temps down reasonably. I have it running as a SystemD unit. All credit to u/spacelama for making it work!

Question regarding Dell R730XD
If you are installing NVMe drives, you can't boot from them if they are installed via PCIe risers or adapters, except for Dell's "NVMe Enablement Kit" to use up to 4 U.2 drives. Installing it breaches the "Fresh Air" conditions of the iDRAC though, and the fans will idle around 40% minimum. You would have to override the automatic fan control via IPMI on every boot to have them idle lower. u/spacelama wrote a script for their R710, and I have some bug reports to get it to also work on my R730XD, you can find it here (and discussion here) if needed.

Wow, the card is basically useless, right?
check out PowerEdge-shutup, it's a script which uses IPMI to take control of the fan speeds and adjust them based on CPU temperatures.

Poweredge Shutup Script

Last try...R730xd getting replaced if I can't fix the fan noise...
I've been using the Poweredge-Shutup script and it works fine through reboots on 4 different R730/R730xds.

Fan curve for Dell R730/R730xd
Thought I'd share a fan profile I generated for use with the Poweredge Shutup script. I have this running on 2 R730s and 2 R730xds and it works pretty well. Environment is a small AC controlled attached garage.
