Fan part# from CLI

I've got a 2800 series with a bad fan and my tech at Cisco asked me to verify the part number of the fan from my log messages.

Well, it ain't in the log....and I haven't found any command that shows it either. I've emailed them back and am waiting for a response. Anyone know where that info is?

Her response:

"If the device is Cisco-2811, then the part id is ACS-2821-51-FANS= because
it is the only part id of the fan for this device."

Then why the !#$% did you ask me to verify the part ID in the first place?

Seems a reasonable enough request. The fan could have been changed at some point with a 3rd party part. I'll still verify with clients, even though I know the response they'll give. Nothing worse then assuming one thing, then find it's a different version/part. Techs dealing with other techs is always interesting. We get annoyed at the obvious questions they need to ask

Some of the larger chassis units do have multiple fan units of varying types and can be queried by software.
