Front Cooling Fan Control Board

The front cooling fans’ main purpose is to cool the hard disk drives. These fans also have a fan control board like the rear cooling fans. The front cooling fan module consists of a control board, a hard disk drive LED status board, and two cooling fans. The message LED board mounted in the front of the cooling fan module consists of five sets of LEDs to represent the status of up to five hard disk drives. Each set has three LEDs which shows the power, activity, and status of each hard disk drive.
