System fan

Your system supports one system fan. The system fan is an essential part of a server's cooling system. It ensures that the key components
of the server such as the processors, hard drives, and memory get adequate air circulation to keep them cool. A failure in the server's
cooling system can result in the server overheating and may lead to damage.
