HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 - Installing High-Performance Fans

• Optional GPU riser installations
• ASHRAE compliant configurations
For more information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change
requires a fan speed increase to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following temperature-
related scenarios:
• At POST and in the OS, iLO performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is
detected. If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown
occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
• When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU), iLO does
not perform an orderly shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this
feature does not disable the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical
temperature level is detected.
CAUTION:
A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown feature is
disabled in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).
Installing high-performance fans
CAUTION:
Caution: To prevent damage server, ensure that all DIMM latches are closed and locked before
installing the fans.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the
server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
Procedure
1. Extend the server from the rack.
2. Remove the access panel.
3. If installed, remove all fan blanks.
