Removing both dual fan modules exposes the chassis to no airflow. The chassis operates for 30 seconds after
either one or both modules are removed. All modules must be reinserted within 30 seconds to avoid overheating
the chassis. If you wait longer than 30 seconds, the chassis may power off automatically to prevent damage
to components. The chassis does not power up and boot properly if the dual fan modules are missing.
