Cooling fan replacement
The cooling fans are integrated into the X400 capacity cube to dissipate the heat generated by the
functioning of the X400 capacity cube. These fans provide cooling for the processors, expansion
cards, and memory modules.
The X400 capacity cube supports up to six high performance hot swappable cooling fans. You do
not need to shut down the X400 capacity cube to replace a cooling fan.
CAUTION
Mixing of standard and high performance cooling fans is not supported.
Note:
Each fan is listed in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, referenced by the respective
fan number. If there is a problem with a particular fan, you can easily identify and replace the
proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the cooling fan assembly.
