To address high fan speeds on the Dell R740XD2, ensure you are using a supported operating system, as Flatcar is not officially validated for this server model. Consider switching to a supported OS like Ubuntu or Red Hat, which may allow for better fan control. If you continue to use Flatcar, be aware that Dell does not provide support for issues related to it. [community thread]
