Nope, there aren't any fans.  There are, however, Air Movement Devices.
Leave it to IBM to replace a three letter work with a TLA.

Anyone know what the noise is that the 620/720 systems make about 5
seconds after power-on?  Sounds like some sort of turbine inside of the
machine.  It can't be the fans - can it??

Very reliable indeed! I have two of them stacked upon each other in my
Garage holding all my spare AS/400 parts. Yes I did take the casters off
the top one!

Larry,

Thanks for the link, I really did not try to find it under V5R2. 

Yes, the 720 is quite a brute of machine, but at the same time it has

proved itself to be VERY reliable and, in some ways, I will miss it
(just a little).

Best Regards,

Luis Rodriguez
