Removing the hot-swap fan
The server supports a maximum of six hot-swap fans. When a fan fails or is
removed, the other fans in the server speed up to maintain a safe operating
temperature in the server until the fan is reinstalled or replaced. When the fan is
installed correctly, the other fans will slow down.
If you install or remove a hot-swap fan, observe the following precautions.
