    1.1.2 Fan Tray The system has a fan tray assembly that cools all components in the system. A faulty fan tray can be identified through physical inspection or by inspecting the LEDs (see Section 1.4.2, “Interpreting LEDs” on page 1-29). Following the failure of a fan, the remaining working fans are all turned to high by the System Controller to compensate for the reduced airflow.

    Power On Self Test (POST) This section contains procedures to initiate the Sun Fire V1280 system unit power-on self-test diagnostics. Procedures are also included to support pre-POST preparation, POST data interpretation and the bypassing of POST diagnostics. The Sun Fire V1280 system is designed with an intelligent System Controller (SC) which is used for configuring, monitoring, recovering (from errors) and controlling the system.
