    I have recently bought an used IntelliStation Z Pro 6223-ATU and the Power Supply Fan continues to run after the computer was shutdown. Is it normal? I have googled it, but I couldn't find anything about this, I have read all the information regarding this computer on IBM website and I couldn't find anything about the power supply fan running continuously after shutdown.

    IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6223-ATU
    Dual Xeon 3.4GHz

    Any Information would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Cesar

    Many servers and high-end workstations will continue to exhaust after they are powered off. In theory, this is a good practice that will increase the lifespan of your components. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this, but in any case it is normal and will not harm your components.
