Recently I acquired DL360 Gen10 and I'm trying to get lowest possible power consumption.
I was able to get as low as ~42W idle in OS with 6 ram sticks + ssd in backplane + 1 PSU.
Could go even lower if SSD would be connected directly to SATA port.

Now I'm trying to disable iLO as it's consuming ~8 watts alone.
Upon disabling iLO, fans are at ~40% RPM constant even with AMSD running in OS.
AMSD helped ramping down fans when I removed raid card and attached backplane directly to motherboard so I assumed that it would help.

While running with disabled iLO and fans at 40%, system is drawing ~39W. So I think disabling iLO actually helped.

Do you guys know any way to handle fans speed with disabled iLO?

iLO is working like the ASPEED BMC on other boards and is the only device with FAN controller connection.
if there is a I2C/SMBus comaptible FAN controller you have to rewire physicaly.
