Which CPU has the bad fan?

Solaris 8 V240 with 2 CPU's. Both CPU fans work and both pump out air but I keep getting this message on the console:

SC Alert: CPU_FAN @ MB.P0.F0.RS has FAILED.

How can I tell which CPU this message is talking about?

prtdiag -v gave:
============================ Environmental Status ============================
Fan Speeds:
-----------------------------------------
Location Sensor Status Speed
-----------------------------------------
MB/P0/F0 RS failed 0
MB/P0/F1 RS okay 16463
MB/P1/F0 RS okay 17307
MB/P1/F1 RS okay 16875
F0 RS okay 5672
F1 RS okay 5869
F2 RS okay 5769
PS0 FF_FAN okay
PS1 FF_FAN okay
---------------------------------

I didn't actually test the fan, a co-worker did. Is this the fan on the CPU or some other fan because prtdiag -v not showing any speed

Is the "PS0 FF_FAN okay " the power supply fan"?

I only have two CPU'S. Why do I have four of these?
MB/P0/F0 RS failed 0
MB/P0/F1 RS okay 16463
MB/P1/F0 RS okay 17307
MB/P1/F1 RS okay 16875

What does FO stand for as in :

F0 RS okay 5672

And waht does "RS" stand for as in :

SC Alert: CPU_FAN @ MB.P0.F0.RS has FAILED.

I know somebody is going to ask me to explain this :) Thanks
