The System Fans Don’t Appear To Spin Fast Enough

The EB2 chassis is equipped with three fans: One for the power supply and two for the chassis.

The power supply fan should always rotate at full speed, while the two chassis fans are thermally controlled both for acoustic and increased reliability reasons. In other words, those fans can adjust their rotation speed based on the user’s preference as well as the amount of heat dissipated by the components inside the chassis. Switches SW10 and SW11 (see their location below), are the ones who determine whether the two chassis fans should automatically regulate their speed based on the temperature inside the chassis or rotate at full speed nonetheless.
