COOLING FAN SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT

摘要

A cooling fan system includes at least one fan unit including a cooling fan and a controller for controlling the cooling fan, a management unit including a fan control section that controls the controller of the fan unit, and a circuit directly connecting the management unit to the cooling fan so as to allow the cooling fan to be controlled directly by the fan control section. The fan control section includes a malfunction detecting section to detect malfunction of the fan unit and a forced control section that directly controls the cooling fan and carries out a forced control to forcibly rotate the cooling fan at a higher rotational speed than that during normal operation when the malfunction detecting section detects the malfunction of the fan unit.
