Redundant hot-plug fans option
The server supports redundant hot-plug fans to provide proper airflow to the system if a primary fan fails.

For the redundant configuration, fans 4, 5 and 6 are added to back up the primary fans. This
configuration allows the server to continue operation in non-redundant mode, if a fan failure occurs.
