SAN384C-6 Fan Modules
The SAN384C-6 has three fan modules, each with four fans, that are installed vertically at the back of the
chassis. Each fan module can be removed while the other two fan modules continue to move air through
the chassis.
The fan modules cover the fabric modules in the back of the chassis. Fan module 1 must be removed to
access fabric modules 1 and 2, fan module 2 must be removed to access fabric modules 3 and 4, and fan
module 3 must be removed to access fabric modules 5 and 6.
Figure 16 on page 38 shows the front and rear view of a SAN384C-6 fan module.
