Use when you need automatic, temperature-driven fan speed control on a Dell PowerEdge server — continuously adjusts fans to a logarithmic curve between configured min/max temperature and fan-speed bounds (CONCEPT:FAN-002).
Use when you need to read the current CPU/core temperature of a Dell PowerEdge server via lm-sensors — to check whether the system is running hot or to drive thermal decisions (CONCEPT:FAN-001).
Use when you need to manually set a fixed Dell PowerEdge fan speed (0-100) via IPMI — for testing cooling performance, capping acoustic noise, or pinning fans to a known level (CONCEPT:FAN-002).
