Dell EMC High Performance Cooling Fan PowerEdge Server R740 R7425 04VXP3 4VXP3

The Dell 04VXP3 (also referenced as 4VXP3) is a high-performance, hot-pluggable cooling fan module engineered for 14th Generation Dell EMC PowerEdge 2U rack servers. Designed for high-density and high-TDP configurations, this module delivers aggressive airflow up to 17,000 RPM to maintain optimal thermal stability in systems equipped with GPUs, mid-bay storage, or high-wattage processors.

This fan is critical for enterprise environments requiring maximum cooling efficiency to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent system performance.

• Part Number: 04VXP3 / 4VXP3

• Dell PowerEdge R840 (High-performance configurations)

Compatibility depends on system configuration, not just the server model:

• High-Density Storage: Required for mid-bay or rear-bay drive configurations

• GPU / FPGA Installations: A full set of six (6) 04VXP3 fans is typically required

• High-TDP CPUs: Recommended for processors above 150W–165W TDP

• Redundancy: Supports N+1 cooling architecture

• 04VXP3

• 4VXP3

• 06038DA-12S-EWH (Nidec OEM)

• VF60381B1-Q070-S99

• N5T36 / 0N5T36

• CT3RT / 0CT3RT

• 384-BBQC (Dell Order Code)

• 1U Servers: Not compatible with models such as the Dell PowerEdge R640 (uses smaller 40mm fans)

• 12th / 13th Generation Servers: Not compatible with older platforms like Dell PowerEdge R720 or Dell PowerEdge R730

The Dell EMC 04VXP3 high-performance cooling fan is essential for maintaining airflow and thermal reliability in demanding 14th Generation PowerEdge server deployments, particularly in GPU-enabled or high-density enterprise configurations.
