Installing the PCI fan and air baffle options
The PCI fan option is required to meet the system thermal requirement when any of the following expansion board
options are installed:
• Type-p Smart Array controllers
• High-performance NIC controllers
• 10 GB Ethernet adapters
• GPUs
• M.2 SSDs
• Third-party expansion boards
NOTE: A PCI fan is also required while the server is in rack mode.
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles, expansion slot covers, or
blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.
