Re: [cobalt-users] changing fan by PSU on RAQ3i

["Frederic Stos" <metalwolf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have one question here because my raq3 have a problem with fans....
(fans seem to not work... BOTH ! which is strange...)

Are fans in raq3 temperature dependent ?
Are they supposed to work all the time ? even when you light on the box ?

The strange thing, isnt a temperatude daemon ? any temperature log inside 
the box to monitor the temperature ? since a daemon start when you start 
the machine... I imagine there is something somewhere...

Thanks
