Fan Tray and Speed Variation
Fan speeds are adjusted based on calculations of the temperatures on all sensors. Due
to one fan being located behind the other, air pushed from one fan can cause the other
fan in the module to run at a higher speed. One fan can run at medium speed while
the other can spin at high speed if one is close to the temperature boundary.
