CAUTION: CAUTION: To avoid damage to server components, fan blanks must be installed in fan bays 1 and 2 in a single-
processor configuration.
CAUTION: CAUTION: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not operate the server for extended periods of time if the server does
not have the optimal number of fans installed. Although the server might boot, Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not
recommend operating the server without the required fans installed and operating.
The valid fan configurations are listed in the following tables.

The loss of a single fan rotor (one standard fan) causes loss of redundancy. The loss of two fan rotors (two standard fans or one high
performance fan) causes the server to initiate a shutdown.
The high performance fans are required for some drive configurations. They are also required for ASHRAE-compliant configurations.
For more information on ASHRAE-compliant configurations, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website

The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change requires a fan speed increase
to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following temperature-related scenarios:
At POST and in the OS, iLO performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is detected. If the server hardware
detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU), iLO does not perform an orderly
shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not disable the server hardware from
performing an immediate shutdown when a critical temperature level is detected.
CAUTION: CAUTION: A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in the
