Here's where I throw in the "me too" -- but the breakage isn't just limited to the
DC supplies, methinks. I'm replacing an AC supply this Friday because
of a fan failure, and it's not the first. The fan false alarm bug seems
to be DC only, or at least exponentially more prevalent.
What we've found is that 'show chassis hardware' is a good way to
determine if the power supply is really broken of it you just the
reporting problem. The latter means a replacement, but perhaps not as
urgently. If the output says the fan for the PS in alarm is ok and
spinning, you're golden. If not, well, good thing there are two
supplies. :)

Amen. Knock on wood, it's only happened to me once.
