> show fans Command Output Descriptions

> Field | Description
> State | Displays the operational state of the fan tray and fan tray controller. The possible states are:
> Normal: There are no errors. This is the normal operating condition.
> Multiple Fan Failure: Multiple fans on the fan tray have failed.
> Single Fan Failure: A single fan on the fan tray has failed.
> Heartbeat Error: The redundant fan controller on the fan tray did not respond to the heartbeat signal.
> Fan A Communication Error: An error has occurred on the primary fan controller bus for the fan tray.
> Fan B Communication Error: An error has occurred on the redundant fan controller bus for the fan tray.
> Communication Error: An inter-bus communication error was experienced between the primary and redundant fan controllers on the fan tray.
> NOTE: If any of the error conditions above are reported for your system, it is likely that the fan tray will need to be repaired or replaced. Please contact your local sales representative for additional information.
> Speed | Indicates the rate at which the fans on the fan tray are spinning as a percentage. Lower percentages indicate that the fans are having to do less work to keep the chassis cool and should be the normal operating condition. Higher percentages indicate that the fans are having to work harder to keep the chassis cool. This could be due to a number of reasons including improper ventilation of the chassis, individual fan failures, or even a dirty air filter. Refer to Please refer to the System Administration and Administration Reference for information on troubleshooting the problem. NOTE: systems with the dual-speed fan tray controller installed display the fan speed of the following: Normal: The fans on the fan tray are operating at a normal speed to maintain a safe operating temperature for the chassis and its components.High: The fans on the fan tray are operating in high speed to maintain a safe operating temperature for the chassis and its components. This could be due to a number of reasons including improper ventilation of the chassis, individual fan failures, or even a dirty air filter. Please refer to the System Administration and Administration Reference for information on troubleshooting the problem.
> Temp | Displays the temperature of the chassis at the fan tray.
