It depends on the server. I had this last week with a ProLiant ML370 G4. There are 6 internal fans (inside the server) and the one in port 2 had failed.

Yes, this one also has 6 fans and all of them are fine. All 6 lights are green. I have interchanged the fans and still get the same error. It posts the fan error on boot up. I've been on the phone all morning with an HP tech and they have verified this. The ticket has now escalated to the 2nd tier support.
