Currently this PHP script only sets static fan speeds. In most cases a better approach would rather be to change the PID curve values, so that the iLO fan controller is still able to spin up the fans if something heats up too much.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/sx3ldo/comment/i4bcpb1/

fan pid 0 lo XXXX : this controls the low temperature of the range of the first segment of the algorithm (in my case this is 1000, or 10.00C)
fan pid 0 hi XXXX : this controls the high temperature of the range of the first segment of the algorithm (in my case this is 2000, or 20.00C)
fan pid 0 p XXXXX : this controls the PWM range of the first segment of the algorithm (in my case this is 18472, or PWM 40 <--> 72)

Next, drop the minimum speed for all your fans using the 'fan p # min ##' command. I like 15 myself. I keep fans 0 and 6 running at 55 to keep good airflow to the outside opening in the PS baffle and over the HD controller.
