Description
How to identify and locate fans on a V240.

Steps to Follow
On a V240 you will see the fans referred to as:

  F0.RS <- system fan 0
F1.RS <- system fan 1
F2.RS <- system fan 2
MB.P0.F0.RS or MB/P0/F0 <- motherboard fan 0 position 0
MB.P0.F1.RS or MB/P0/F1 <- motherboard fan 1 position 1

  MB.P1.F0.RS or MB/P1/F0 <- motherboard fan 0 position 0
MB.P1.F1.RS or MB/P1/F1 <- motherboard fan 1 position 1

    ex:  MB.P0.F0.RS would be cpu0's fan0 on the mb and not
one of the system fans

System Fans:

Looking down on the V240 with the cover removed, and the front to the
left, System fan 0 is on top, system fan 1 is in the middle and system
fan 2 is on the bottom.

CPU fans:

Looking down on the system board with the external connections at the
bottom:

MB.P0.F0.RS is the left fan of processor 0 (bottom processor) and
MB.P0.F1.RS is the right fan of processor 0 (bottom processor)
MB.P1.F0.RS is the left fan of processor 1 (top processor) and
MB.P1.F1.RS is the right fan of processor 1 (top processor).
