Cooling fans, cooling air flow, and minimum clearance

The FortiGate-7030E chassis contains three hot swappable cooling fan trays installed in the back of the chassis. Each
fan tray includes two fans that operate together. The fan tray includes two LEDs, one for each fan. When these LEDs
are green both fans are operating normally. If one of the LEDs turns red or goes off, that fan is not working and the fan
tray should be replaced.
Fan trays are hot swappable. You can replace a failed fan tray while the chassis is operating. To replace a fan tray,
unscrew the four retention screws and use the handles to pull the fan tray out of the chassis. Then apply the fan outlet
cover to the outlet grill of the new fan tray. Install the new fan tray by sliding it into place. As you slide the new fan into
place it will power up and the fan outlet cover will fall off of the fan tray. Tighten the retention screws.
The other fan trays will continue to operate and cool the chassis as a fan tray is being removed and replaced. However
an open fan tray slot will result in less air flow through the chassis so do not delay installing the replacement fan tray.
The FortiGate-7030E System Management Module (SMM) monitors the internal temperature of the chassis and adjusts
the operating speed of the cooling fans as required. When the chassis is first powered on all cooling fans run at full
speed. Once the SMM is up and running, it reduces cooling fan speeds to maintain an optimum temperature in the
chassis. If the SMM is not installed or is not operating correctly, the FortiGate-7030E chassis cooling fans always
operate at full speed.
During normal operation, all fan trays are active. If cooling requirements increase, the fan speed will increase.
