System Fans
Four fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the
chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC827 system
fans are hot-swappable. There is no need to power down the system when replacing
fans and new tools are required for installation.
Optional Fan Confi gurations
The SC827H model chassis is designed so that the default confi guration of the
system is for each motherboard to control two fans. The fans are hot-swappable.
Each motherboard node in the chassis is connected to the backplane through the
adapter card, mounted in the motherboard drawer. In the event that one of the
motherboard drawers is removed, then the remaining motherboard will operate
both fans.
