Each fan has a LED to indicate the state of the fan The Light Path summary panel also has a status LED for each fan Off means normal operation and solid on means fault At power on in order to maintain a low acoustic level the speed of the fans is ramped up slowly The supply voltage of fan 1 and fan 2 is linearly increased from OV to approximately 6 5V whereas the supply voltage of fan 3 and fan 4 is linearly increased from OV to approximately 7 5V All fans will have their LED both FRU LED and summary panel fan LED turned off normal operation when running As ambient temperature exceeds 24C the fan voltage starts increasing linearly finally reaching its maximum of approximately 12V at 32C If one of the four fans fails the three remaining fans will be placed in the turbo mode full speed by setting the fan supply voltage to 12V The failing fan LED both FRU LED and summary panel fan LED must be switched to solid on state indicating a fault condition An alert will be send to the operating system that redundant cooling has been lost and a service call is needed The failing fan can be replaced hot pluggable while the system is running When the failing fan has been replaced and service processor has determined that the new fan operates properly the fan LED will be switched to off normal via the AIX Service Aid menu and the fan supply voltages will be returned to nominal level If one fan fails and a second fan runs slow or fails
