Replacement Alternative for Dell FY606 in a Poweredge T105
- by Mike C
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.
