It's a cleaning method for the PS3, You unplug your PS3 hold the eject button then plug your PS3 in and the fan will go full power and remove any dust in your system.

Hello Bryan,

Thank you for writing us regarding the fan test. The fan will not remove dust that is in your system(s). It will not hurt any of your systems. All it is, is a force eject for a stuck disc and the fan comes on.
