Use the Fan Installation Requirements option to configure how the server reacts when all required fans are not installed. Operating the server without the required fans can result in damage to the hardware components. By default, the server displays messages and log events to the IML when required fans are not installed. The server can still boot and operate.
Procedure
From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Advanced Options > Fan and Thermal Options > Fan Installation Requirements.
Select a setting.
Enable Messaging—The server displays messages and log events to the IML when required fans are not installed. The server can still boot and operate. This setting is the recommended setting.
Disable Messaging—The server does not display message and log events when required fans are not installed. All indications that the server is operating without required fans are removed.
