The S6000 comes from the factory with two PSUs and three fan modules installed in the chassis (see

Figure

6-1). The S6000 has SKUs that support the following configurations. Installation of the fans is

done as part of the factory install based on SKU type.

• AC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to PSU

• AC PSU with fan airflow from PSU to I/O

• DC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to PSU

• DC PSU with fan airflow from PSU to I/O

All fans and PSUs in a configuration must be in the same airflow direction. Should a mixed airflow

configuration happen, the software notifies you of the invalid configuration.

The S6000 supports three fan trays with airflow directions from the I/O to the utility or the utility to the

I/O.

Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between fan replacements. Check the

environmental factors regularly. An increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might

affect performance (for example, new equipment installation).

CAUTION: Check the fans at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. Regularly monitor the

speeds of the cooling fans in order to accurately determine replacement intervals.
