Viewing fan information

The iLO firmware, in conjunction with the hardware, controls the operation and speed of the fans.
Fans provide essential cooling of components to ensure reliability and continued operation. The
fans react to the temperatures monitored throughout the system to provide sufficient cooling with
minimal noise.

Fan operation policies might differ from server to server based on fan configuration and cooling
demands. Fan control takes into account the internal temperature of the system, increasing the fan
speed to provide more cooling, and decreasing the fan speed if cooling is sufficient. In the event
of a fan failure, some fan operation policies might increase the speed of the other fans, record the
event in the IML, or turn LED indicators on.

Monitoring the fan subsystem includes the sufficient, redundant, and nonredundant fan
configurations. If one or more fans fail, the server still provides sufficient cooling to continue
operation.

In nonredundant configurations, or redundant configurations where multiple fan failures occur, the
system might be incapable of providing sufficient cooling to protect the system from damage and
to ensure data integrity. In this case, in addition to the cooling policies, the system might start a
graceful shutdown of the operating system and server.

The information displayed on this page varies depending on the server type.

If the server is powered off, the system health information on this page is current as of the last
power off. Health information is updated only when the server is powered on and POST is complete.
