If you are instructed to return the fan, follow all packaging instructions, and use
any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
Installing a hot-swap fan
For proper cooling, the server requires that five fans be installed for each hot-swap
power supply that is installed.
The server comes with five replaceable fans. If you install a second hot-swap power
supply, you must install the complete set of five fans that come with the
power-supply option.
Important: Only the configurations that are shown in the following table are
supported. The fan numbers are printed on the microprocessor air baffle.
Installed power supplies Required fans
Power supply 1 Fans in locations 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10
Power supplies 1 and 2 All 10 fans
Attention: To ensure proper server operation, if a fan fails, replace it as soon as
possible.
