Updated BIOS to 7LETC5WW (2.25) and...
Fan speed is stabilished in ~3000RPM, temperature go to 42°C and fan
speed still power-on.
# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
status: enabled
speed: 3028
level: auto
# echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
How can I change fan level?

Renato
