1 Some units are equipped with (3) fan modules, while others are equipped with 4. Total fan power is equal to the number of installed fan modules multiplied by the fan power for each module.

Fan Speed and Temperature Variation

The speed of the fan increases only when the temperature of the device increases. Fan speed is not dependent on any fan failures.
