Users Guide

When enabled, ECM will only increase the cooling capacity to the server slots within the chassis. It is also important to note
that ECM is not designed to provide increased cooling to the servers at all times. Even with ECM enabled, the higher blower
speeds will only be seen when the increased cooling is needed. Examples of this situation include high levels of server utilization
or stress, and high ambient temperatures.
By default, ECM is off. When ECM is enabled, the blowers have the capability to deliver approximately 20% more airflow per
blade.
To set the ECM mode, go to Chassis Overview > Fans > Setup. On the Advanced Fan Configurations page, in the
Blower Configurationtable, from the Value drop-down menu corresponding to Enhanced Cooling Mode, select an option
appropriately.
For more information about the ECM feature, see the Online Help.
