Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Hi Davide, You can use OMSA ( Open Manage Server Administrator) system management tool to get slot occupancy report for the specific controller. This report will give you the bay details and physical disk slot information.
In GUI You can navigate to "Storage->select Report->view slot occupancy report". OMSA CLI COMMAND for getting slot occupancy report: omreport storage enclosure controller=0 enclosure=0:1 info=pdslotreport -------------------------------------OUTPUT--------------------------------------------------------- Details of Enclosure on Controller PERC ( controller name) ID : 0:1 Slot Count : 24 Occupied Slot Count : 12 Empty Slot Count : 12 Occupied Slots : 0,11,12,13,14,15,16,18,19,21,22,23 Empty Slots : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,17,20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please let us know if you need any more information about this.

Personally, I think the idea of burning out my fans to fix a poor design really sucks. I'm going to try the "Update BIOS/NIC" first, see how that does for me. If not, we've been setting via racadm if len(thermal_profile) and thermal_profile != 'maximum performance': set_value('system.thermalsettings.ThermalProfile', '1') if len(base_algorithm) and base_algorithm != 'maximum performance': set_value('system.thermalsettings.BaseAlgorithm', '1') if len(fan_speed_offset) and fan_speed_offset != 'low fan speed': set_value('system.thermalsettings.FanSpeedOffset', '0') You're saying that according to https://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20441060/download set system.thermalsettings.FanSpeedOffset to 2, then if that doesn't work 1, and as a last resort (And don't want to be able to hear anything in the datacenter besides fans) to 3?
