Redundant hot-plug fans
The server supports redundant hot-plug fans to provide proper airflow to the system if a primary fan fails.
In the standard configuration, primary fans 2, 4, and 6 cool the server.
For the redundant configuration, fans 1, 3, and 5 are added to back up the primary fans. This
configuration allows the server to continue operation in non-redundant mode if a fan failure occurs.
For full redundancy, all fans must be installed.
For fan locations, refer to "Hot-plug fans (on page
