Fan Redundancy

The Fan Redundancy Configuration option determines the behavior of the server if
one or more of the cooling fans fail. This feature requires that the HP System
Management driver be installed.

When the Fan Redundancy option is enabled and the HP System Management driver
is installed, the server will not shut down if only one fan fails. If the system
experiences multiple fan failures, the HP System Management Driver shuts down the
operating system. Additionally, the System ROM will not allow the server to
complete POST if any fan fails.

When the Fan Redundancy option is disabled, the server treats all fans as critical and
shuts down the server if any fan fails.
