The server features dual hot-swappable fan assemblies. The fans provide for front-to-back airflow to be consistent with other storage system components.
The server’s cooling airflow enables the system to operate in an ambient temperature range of 10°C to 35°C when mounted in a rack or cabinet with associated components required to make up a storage system. The storage system administrator is responsible for ensuring that the ambient temperature within the rack does not exceed the 35°C operating limit.
The server continues to operate following the failure of a single fan and during the temporary removal of a fan for replacement. Replace a failed fan as soon as possible.
The fans are contained within two assemblies, each containing a single variable-speed fan. Fan assemblies are located behind the front bezel. Each fan assembly is secured to the chassis with two thumbscrews and a blind-mate electrical connector; no tools are required to remove or install a fan assembly.
Two fan status LEDs provide fan status information. These LEDs are located behind the bezel on the right side of the chassis.
