Installing System Components

Cooling Fans

Your system contains four dual-motor cooling fans. These provide cooling
for the processor, PCI cards, and memory modules. Your system also contains
one single-motor fan to provide cooling for the power supplies.

NOTE:

Hot-swap removal or installation of the cooling fans is not supported.

NOTE:

In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced

by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify and replace
the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the fan assembly.

The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after the system
