Sunfire V210 PSU failures

Hello, list,

We've had two fan failures within a week on the power supplies of two
identical Sunfire V210's.
Nothing dramatic, since the PSU works fine for quite a while without the
fan, given the amount of fans (and noise!) you have in this server.

However, Googling for the same problem popped up quite a lot of similar
problems with Sunfire V210's.

I was wondering whether other users had had the the same type of
problems with V210's or V240's, and whether it could be recurrent even
after the power supply replacement.
