6-11 Replacing System Fans
System fans provide cooling for the system and circulate air through the node as
a means of lowering the internal temperature. The F424BD system fans are easily
removed from the fan tray. There is no need to uninstall any other parts when
replacing fans, and only a Phillips screwdriver is required for installation.
Note: The fans in this system are redundant and hot-plug.
