5.3.20 Performing a fan test
Notes on replacing a defective fan
After replacing a defective system fan or PSU containing a defective fan,
the fan error indicators will stay lit until the next fan test. By default, a fan
test is automatically started every 24 hours. The first automatic fan test
being performed after replacing a fan will turn off the fan error indicator
.
