Redundant fan guidelines

The server supports redundant hot-plug fans to provide proper airflow to the system if a primary fan fails.
In the standard, non-redundant, configuration, fans 2, 4, and 5 cool the server.
For the redundant configuration, fans 1 and 3 are added to back up the primary fans. This configuration

enables the server to continue operation in non-redundant mode, if a fan failure occurs. The following rules

apply:

If one fan fails or is removed in non-redundant mode, the server shuts down.

If one fan fails or is removed in redundant mode, the server converts to non-redundant mode.

If two fans fail or are removed in redundant mode, the server shuts down.

IMPORTANT:

When installing or replacing server components, one or more fans might need to

be removed. To prevent an orderly or immediate server shutdown, HP highly recommends

powering down the server during these procedures. To determine if powering down is required,

see the specific procedure.
