= 30 for fan speed too slow (below fault threshold), or = 31 for fan
speed above threshold. A single 3F is returned if the Fan Monitoring option is
disabled, or if fan status is unavailable for any other reason.
After a power-up, fan speed may indicate “too slow” while the fans accelerate. In this
case, if this message is sent, the returned value will still be 30, although a fault will
not
be reported.
