Fans
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.
Monitoring the fan subsystem includes the sufficient, redundant, and non-redundant fan
configurations. If one or more fans fail, the server still provides sufficient cooling to continue
operation.
Fan operation policies might differ from server to server based on fan configuration and cooling
demands. Fan control monitors the internal temperature of the system, increasing the fan speed
