Fan Assemblies

Fan Assembly Overview

The following list shows important details that you should note about fan assemblies:

•

Three fan assemblies are installed in the chassis, containing two fans each, for a total of six fans.

•

The chassis requires five fans out of six functioning fans for operation.

•

Fan assemblies with the following airflow directions can be installed. All fan assemblies must have the same airflow

direction and match the airflow direction of installed power supplies.

–

Fan assembly with nonport-side air intake: Fans move air from the nonport side to the port side of the chassis.

–

Fan assembly with nonport-side air exhaust: Fans move air from the port side to the nonport side of the chassis.

•

Fan assemblies can be removed and replaced without special tools.

•

The chassis can continue operation while one fan assembly is replaced if the fan assembly is replaced immediately.

The following figure illustrates fan assembly components.
