Fan zones
Fan zones monitor the bay cooling efficiency and the status of the bays the fans are configured to cool. Zone speeds reported are targeted speeds. These values change with time as the fans speed and slow in response to cooling needs of the zone. The Fan Zones screen does not dynamically update. To update information on this screen, click Refresh.
Fan speeds appear in percentage of total capacity, and fans operating in a zone without any blades run at a minimum RPM of 30% to maintain proper cooling for the entire enclosure.
