Fan Profile
1 Scope
The Dell Fan Profile describes the properties and interfaces for executing system management tasks
related to the management of fans within a system. The profile standardizes and aggregates the
description for the fan speed sensors and other fan properties into a fan view representation as well as
provides static methodology for the clients to query the fan views without substantial traversal of the
model.
