The 3U servers manufactured in the 2007 timeframe didn't have a fan on the heatsink since we were using a large, high-efficiency heatsink at the time. When that particular model of heatsink was discontinued, we were unable a source a suitable replacement and thus moved to a model of heatsink that required the addition of a fan.

As you bought the server brand new from a dealer in that era, it's almost certain that you have one with the original heatsink.
 
Thanks John. By the way I got new PSU, but found another issue, two (out of 5) cooling fans not working. Do you know where I can buy fans? I like to change all 5 fans.
