Lenovo 4F17A12352 SR570 FAN Option KIT

Lenovo 4F17A12352 SR570 Fan Option Kit

Overview

The Lenovo 4F17A12352 is a fan option kit designed for the ThinkSystem SR570 rack server. When expanding a SR570 configuration — adding processors, PCIe cards, or high-TDP components — the base cooling layout may require supplemental fans to maintain airflow balance across the chassis. The 4F17A12352 provides that additional fan capacity, ensuring thermal headroom for fully populated or upgraded server builds. At 0.50 lb and a compact 7.50 x 5.10 x 2.60 in form factor, the kit installs directly into the SR570 chassis fan bays without chassis modification.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR570 2U rack server. Verify your SR570's processor and PCIe slot configuration against Lenovo's system configuration guides before ordering — some SR570 builds ship with adequate fan coverage for a single-processor, lightly populated configuration and require this kit only when adding a second processor or high-power expansion cards. Not applicable to other ThinkSystem families such as the SR530, SR590, or SR630; fan module form factors and chassis airflow architectures differ across those server component families.

Installation Notes

Installation follows standard ThinkSystem tool-less fan bay procedures — the fan module seats into the designated bay and locks without fasteners. Ensure the server is powered down and ESD precautions are observed before handling. Confirm bay slot availability in your specific SR570 configuration prior to installation; a fully populated fan array may not have open bays for this kit without a configuration change.
