The fan of a server is an essential hardware device. It dissipates heat for a server to keep the server temperature within a reasonable range and prevent device damage or performance degradation due to overheat. It is usually installed inside or outside the server and takes away the heat inside the server by drawing in air and expelling it.

There are various types of server fans, including heat dissipation fans, heat sinks, and heat sinks. Among them, the cooling fan is the most common one, which is usually composed of a motor, blades, housing, etc. The motor usually uses ball bearings and the coil is wound with pure copper to ensure its durability and stability.

The performance and stability of the server fan are critical to the proper operation of the server. If a fan fails, such as a motor fault, control module fault, power supply problem, or connection problem, the server may overheat, which affects the performance and stability of the server. Therefore, you need to periodically check the fan running status of the server to ensure that the fan runs properly.

When selecting a server cooling fan, consider the parameters such as material, noise, power, speed, and air volume. The cooling fan material should be at least PBT material, the bearing needs ball bearings, and the coil needs pure copper winding. At the same time, the excessive noise of the cooling fan is not conducive to equipment monitoring and maintenance.

In general, the server fan is an important guarantee for the normal running of the server. Administrators need to check and maintain the fan periodically to ensure the performance and stability of the server.
