Lenovo ThinkSystem 2U Performance Fan

Overview

The Lenovo 4F17A14489 is a 2U performance fan assembly designed to maintain optimal cooling for Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 server models 7D2V and 7D2W. It features six fans housed in a single frame that efficiently directs airflow across critical components like processors, memory, and storage. This ensures the server operates within safe temperature limits, supporting sustained workloads without thermal throttling or performance drops.

Each fan connects via a 4-pin connector, allowing system firmware to precisely control fan speed and monitor status. Despite its powerful cooling capability, the assembly operates quietly at just 14 dB, making it suitable for both data centers and office environments where noise levels matter.
