Removing And Replacing A Data Center Server Fan - HP Integrity rx2660 User's & Service Manual

IMPORTANT:
For the Data Center rx2660 server, you can have one failed fan per zone. The
fans speed up to compensate for the failed fan. If two fans fail in a given zone, you have
three minutes to remove the top cover, replace the failed fan and put the top cover back
onto the server. Otherwise, the server performs a soft shut down due to an overheat condition.
For the Office Friendly server, you can have one failed fan rotor per zone in Zone 1 or Zone
3. The fans speed up to compensate for the failed fan rotor. If you have two rotors fail in
Zone 1 or Zone 3, or one rotor fail in Zone 2, you have 40 seconds to replace the failed fan.
Otherwise, the server performs a soft shut down due to an overheat condition.
