CAUTION:
To avoid damage to server components, fan blanks must be installed in fan bays 1 and 2 in a single-
processor configuration.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the equipment, do not operate the server for extended periods of time if the
server does not have the optimal number of fans installed. Although the server might boot, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise does not recommend operating the server without the required fans installed
and operating.
Valid fan configurations are listed in the following table.

For a single-processor configuration, excluding 24-SFF and 12-LFF configurations, four fans and two
blanks are required in specific fan bays for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes a loss of
redundancy. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
For a dual-processor configuration or single-processor 24-SFF or 12-LFF configurations, six fans are
required for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or
missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the server.
High-performance fans might be necessary in 24-SFF and 12-LFF configurations for the following
installations:
