Is there any way to automatically bypass the
>Fan error
block when booting?

Old ThinkPad. Repurposed it as my NAS, every works and is comfy...except the fan. It runs at a significant level no matter what, even though the NAS is idle 99% of the time. I've replaced the fan/heatsink, I've changed the thermal paste. It just runs at this level 24/7. It's a Sandy Bridge laptop.
1) Noise. The fan is quite noisy in an otherwise quiet room.
2) I worry about longevity/safety of this moving part running 24/7 unnecessarily.

So I opened it up and disconnected the fan plug into the motherboard. It actually works, idle temps are basically the same, maybe 1-2 degrees higher. No technical need to have the fan running all the time.

However there's a problem. By default, boot will be interrupted and blocked by the Fan Error message, it detects the fan isn't plugged in. The only way to bypass it is to manually be at the machine and quickly press Esc as soon as it comes up. But remote reboots will still be blocked. Any way to have it bypass automatically? Otherwise I'll either have to plug the fan back in or spend money on a chink fanless PC.
