Fan Speed and Temperature Variation
The speed of the fan increases only when the temperature of the device increases. Fan speed is not
dependent on any fan failures.
Table 31: 5720 Fan Speed and Power Consumption
Fan Speed Fan Module RPM (typical) Power
Inlet Fan Outlet Fan Typical
Full (100%) 22500 (typ) 19500 (typ) 12V*2.3A=27.6W
Low (30%) 7000 (typ) 6100 (typ) 12V*0.2A=2.4W per module
* Some units are equipped with (3) fan modules, while others are equipped with 4. Total fan power is
equal to the number of installed fan modules multiplied by the fan power for each module.
