Fan population and hot-plug support
The number of fans installed in the server determines fan redundancy. When redundant fan mode is enabled,
hot-plug fan operation is supported.
In this server, fan operation can either be one of the following:
•
Hot-plug – A failed fan can be replaced without powering down the server
•
Non-hot-plug – To replace a failed fan, the user must either:
◦
Keep the server powered on and complete the fan replacement within 30 seconds of opening the
access panel, or
◦
Power down and disconnect all power from the server before removing the access panel for fan
replacement.
