Main Fans

The system has a fan tray assembly that cools all components in the system. There
are eight hot-swappable main fans in the fan tray. To determine if a fan in the fan
tray is faulty:

lit, which means there is an internal fault or failure.
See
Section 1.4.1, "Interpreting LEDs" on page 1-9

remaining working fans to high speed to compensate for reduced air flow.
2. Replace the faulty fan. The fans are hot-swappable.
