2861.0. "HUBwatch 3.1 & Fans??" by SWANDC::MAUTZ (Networks >= to DECnet) Fri Oct 13 1995 22:33

    I have a customer running HUBwatch V3.1 on WFG3.11, unfortunately,
    I don't have the hub firmware version.
    
    On a HUB900 he as:
    
    	slot		module
    	6		server900TM
    	7		repeater900TM
    	8		switch900EF
    
    On HUBwatch's environmental display the fan indicators show
    
    	6		1 left green fans and the right 2 are grey
    	7		2 left green fans and the right 1 is grey
    	8		all 3 fans are green
    
    All three modules show normal temp.  Don't all of these moduls
    have 3 fans?  Shouldn't they all be painted green?
    
    Thanks,

    Richard,
    
    If something is not support or in this case not there then hubwatch
    greys out the display.  terminal servers have one fan, higher end
    modules like switches haw three.

    RTFMC= Read The Fine Manuals CAREFULLY!
    
    Thanks, everyone!  Based on your input, I realized that I had
    miss-understood some things I read - bad memory, maybe.  I thought
    I'd read some where that all three of these modules had 3 fans
    each.
    
    Regards,

	The theory is that all modules will have at least two
	fans, to provide for redundancy should 1 fan fail.
	If power dissipation is high, the third fan can be
	added.

	Somehow the low power/low cost terminal servers
	slipped out without the redundant fan.
