2.11.6 Cooling Summary
The four-fan cooling subsystem of the TIGH2U Server is sized to provide cooling for:
• Up to two server board processors
• Up to 32 Gbytes of FBDIMM memory
• Up to six SAS hard drives
• Up to five PCI add-in cards consuming a maximum of 25 W for each full-height 
PCI-X / PCIe add-in cards and 10 W for each low-profile PCIe add-in card
The cooling subsystem meets acoustic and thermal requirements at the lower fan speed settings. At
the higher fan speed settings, thermal requirements are met for the maximum ambient
temperatures, but acoustic requirements are not met.
