This configuration supports fan redundancy.
Fan mode behavior
•
In nonredundant fan mode, a fan failure or a missing fan causes:
◦
The system Health LED to flash amber.
◦
The operating system to orderly shutdown.
•
In redundant fan mode:
◦
A fan rotor failure will switch the system to nonredundant fan mode.
This change is indicated by the Health LED flashing amber. The system continues to operate normally in this
mode.
◦
A second fan rotor failure or a missing fan causes the operating system to orderly shutdown.
Installing a fan
This server supports redundant fans to provide sufficient airflow to the system if a fan rotor fails.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
