Cooling fan module kit Lenovo Performance Fan Option Kit for ThinkSystem V3 2U (MPN 4F17A82884)

The Lenovo Performance Fan Option Kit for ThinkSystem V3 2U is a replacement cooling fan module engineered to provide factory-compatible airflow and thermal management for 2U rack servers. Designed to fit the ThinkSystem V3 platform, the module restores or upgrades cooling performance to maintain optimal operating temperatures, support continuous operation and reduce the risk of thermal throttling or component failure.

Advantages

This cooling fan module matches Lenovo’s original cooling specifications and mechanical fit for ThinkSystem V3 2U systems, ensuring compatibility and reliable airflow. It helps maintain stable internal temperatures under sustained load and is suitable for routine maintenance, repairs or system refurbishments. The module’s design supports predictable thermal behaviour, which contributes to consistent performance and reduced downtime in data center or server-room environments.

Suitable for

• Replacing a failed or noisy fan module in ThinkSystem V3 2U servers
• Routine server maintenance and preventive hardware replacement
• Upgrading cooling components during system refurbishment or redeployment
• Data center and enterprise IT environments requiring factory-compatible parts

Key specifications

• Form factor: module designed for 2U rack server installation
• Compatibility: engineered for use with ThinkSystem V3 2U platform
• Function: active forced-air cooling to manage chassis thermal load
• Cooling performance: supports sustained airflow for server-grade components
• Mechanical interface: plug-and-play module intended to match original mounting and connectors

How to use

Power down the server and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions before servicing. Remove the server cover and locate the existing fan module within the chassis. Disconnect the module’s power connector and unfasten any retaining clips or screws, then extract the old module. Install the replacement fan module by aligning the mechanical guides, securing the module in place and reconnecting the power connector. Replace the server cover, power on the system and verify fan operation and system thermal readings through the server management interface or BIOS.

Recommendations

Use this factory-compatible fan module in environments where original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are required. Verify compatibility with your specific ThinkSystem V3 2U chassis revision before purchase and follow Lenovo service documentation for torque, ESD handling and firmware/BIOS updates to ensure proper thermal management.
