 - `IDRAC_HOST` parameter can be set to "local" or to your distant iDRAC's IP address. Default value is "local".
 - `IDRAC_USERNAME` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. Default value is "root".
 - `IDRAC_PASSWORD` parameter is only necessary if you're adressing a distant iDRAC. Default value is "calvin".
-- `FAN_SPEED` parameter can be set as a decimal or hexadecimal value (0x00 to 0x64). Default value is 5 (%).
+- `FAN_SPEED` parameter can be set as a decimal (from 0 to 100%) or hexadecimal value (from 0x00 to 0x64) you want to set the fans to. Default value is 5(%).
+- `MAXIMUM_TEMPERATURE` parameter is the threshold beyond which the Dell fan mode defined in your BIOS will become active again (to protect the server hardware against overheat). Default value is 32(°C).
