in the meantime, I managed to change the fan settings back to normal
(i.e. optimized) fan control. For some reason, they were set to full
speed. What I had to do is connect via a browser to the management LAN
port and log in.

There is a manual for the IPMI Chip on the 6027R TRF main board.

http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/SMT_IPMI_Manual.pdf

It explains the underlying hardware quite well. I am adding this here
for the sake of completeness. Maybe so. else will appreciate this solution.

Best Felix.
