Monitoring Functions Fan Speed The 9C300-1 Environmental Module adjusts the speed of the system cooling fans (Figure 3-3) based on the external ambient temperature. Fan speed increases as ambient temperature rises to ensure adequate cooling for the system. Conversely, fan speed decreases as ambient temperature decreases. In the event the ambient temperature sensor, or the Environmental Module itself, fails, fan speed defaults to maximum speed to ensure adequate cooling. The ability to c
