Cooling fans

Your system supports six cooling fans. A fan blank is pre-installed on the sixth cooling fan slot (FAN6) in a single processor

configuration. FAN6 is required in a dual processor configuration.

NOTE: Hot-swap removal or installation of the fans is not supported.

NOTE: Each fan is listed in the systems management software, referenced by the respective fan number. If there is a

problem with a particular fan, you can easily identify and replace the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the cooling

fan assembly.
