13.3.1 Identifying the Rear Fan
The front and rear fans on the Sun Blade 1500 workstation are contained in green
brackets. Both fans must be operating to adequately cool the components in a closed
chassis. Both fans are connected to the motherboard with a cable that carries power
and signal.
FIGURE 13-14 shows the location of and identifies the rear fan.
Note – Though similar in appearance, the front and rear fan brackets are not
interchangeable.
