[1] For specific fan speeds see the Overview section of the Hardware Installation Guide.
[2] This switch runs with +1 redundancy mode so that if one fan fails, the switch can sustain operation. But if a second fan fails, this switch is not designed to sustain operation. Hence before waiting for the major threshold temperature to be hit, the switch will power down due to entering the fan policy trigger command.
