Configuring Enhanced Cooling Mode for Fans
The Enhanced Cooling Mode (ECM) feature provides additional cooling support using the third
generation M1000e fans. The Enhanced Cooling Mode (ECM) for fans is available only when all nine fan
slots are populated with the new third generation M1000e fans. The new third generation M1000e fans
provide:
• Superior cooling to the installed blades compared to previous M1000e fan generations, when the
ECM feature is enabled.
• Cooling equivalent to previous generations of M1000e fans at the same power, when the ECM feature
is disabled.
ECM mode is recommended for:
• Blade server configurations with high Thermal Design Power (TDP) processors.
• Workloads where performance is a critical.
• Systems deployed in environments where the inlet temperature exceeds 30°C [86°F].
,
NOTE: In the Enhanced Cooling Mode (ECM), the new generation fans provide superior cooling
features when compared to current generation fans of M1000e chassis. This increased cooling is
not always needed and comes at the expense of higher acoustics (where the system can sound up
to 40% louder) and increased system fan power. You can enable or disable the ECM feature on the
basis of cooling required for a chassis.
