Replacement Alternative for Dell FY606 in a Poweredge T105

  • 772

I have recently upgraded my Poweredge T105 server to use a SAS 6/ir RAID controller. Unfortunately, I did not realize at the time that adding the card would cause the BIOS to complain about a missing hard drive fan. This warning requires that a user press F1 to continue, which is disastrous in a server environment.

I have searched all over found that the specific part I need is a Dell FY606 fan. However, I have yet to find a suitable retailer that covers this part. I have contacted Dell and they do not have this part in stock. Are there any alternative models of a fan that I could use in place of an FY606? Seems like a pretty straightforward part, just a fan that connects to a 4-pin power connector on the motherboard.

    Try asking Dell Support for part 400-14766 - FY606 is apparently an internal Dell part number.

    It's probably a standard PWM fan but you need the bracket if you want it held in the right place, and I'm 90% certain it'll have a Dell proprietary connector on it.

    I'll bet that you can get the part from Dell. Why are you looking elsewhere without calling them first?
