TITAN SILICONSERVER HARDWARE MANUAL 27
Replacing a Fan Tray
The Titan SiliconServer fans are contained within three individual fan trays. These are located behind
the front fascia and are removable from the front of the server. The fans provide for front to back
airflow to be consistent with the storage system components. The server continues to operate following
the failure or removal of a single fan.
The Titan SiliconServer’s cooling airflow enables the server to operate in an ambient temperature range
of 10°C to 40°C when mounted in a storage cabinet with associated components required to configure
a high performance storage system. The Storage System Administrator is responsible for ensuring that
the ambient temperature within the rack does not exceed the 40°C operating limit for the Titan Server.
CAUTION: If a fan has failed, replace the fan tray as soon as possible to avoid damaging the
server.
