3.2 Functions
The revolution of the fan module is controlled by the RPU. Properly working fans keep the
Secure Router 8012 operating at the normal temperature. The fan module functions include
the following:
z The fan module can modify the revolution automatically. It configures two parameters,
the low-temperature threshold and the high-temperature threshold. The low-temperature
threshold and the high-temperature threshold correspond with revs of 100% and 50%
respectively. For temperature operation requirements, see Chapter 1, “Overview.”
z As the failure of one fan does not affect the operation of other fans, the system can still
operate at the normal temperature.
z The system sends out rotation stop alarm signals if any fan fails.
