Note: The three fan assemblies concurrently installed in the chassis must be of the same power type,
model (airflow direction), and part number. If the airflow directions are different, an error is generated on
the console.
Note: The fan assembly units are hot-swappable if they are replaced one at a time. They are identical and
fit into any fan slot.
