Cooling system fans

The Altos G900 server accommodates six hot-swap fan modules.

Caution! Don't remove a fan module while the server is powered
on unless you have a replacement unit available. Once you
remove a fan module from the system, replace it within five
minutes. Vacant spaces alter airflow patterns in the server system
and can cause overheating and damage to system components.

Checking a fan status indicator

Fault LED indicators for each fan module are located on the fan board.
The indicators are visible through a cutout in the housing of each
module.

The red LEDs light to indicate a fan failure; during normal operation,
the LEDs remain unlit. A fan failure is also indicated by the general
system fault LED located on the front panel.
