@ppouliot I have figured it out!

        for nFan in {2..6}

Needs to be 2..7 - the 7th fan is the one that was being left out and which was causing all the noise.

The 2U chassis has 2x fans, the 1U has 7 as per the manual.

Now how do I monitor temperature to make sure the thing doesn't fry?

This script does not appear to work for the 2U Mt Jade platform with firmware 2.10d... any chance for a fix?

Hi thanks for the question. There’s no fix because this script is only for its original server.

I got it from Ampere who now have an active developer forum. I’d suggest you ask there
