Any details about this IBM ? What would you like to change? Fan speed in function of temperature?
In most cases you can find it in BIOS, but let us know what exactly type of ThinkPad is it.

If the fan is faulty it needs to be replaced, if the bearings are bad it wont start untill more voltage is applied by the control circuit (as it warms up) I don't think ther is a fan setting in the bios
here is the maintenance manual if its any help.
