6-6 System Fans
Four fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the
chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC217HQ+
system fans are easy to change modules. There is no need to uninstall any
other parts inside the system when replacing fans, and no tools are required for
installation.

the system is for each serverboard to control two fans. Each serverboard node in
the chassis is connected to the backplane through the adapter card, mounted in
the serverboard node drawer. In the event that one of the serverboard drawers is
removed, then the remaining serverboard will operate both fans.
