Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling and hot-swap capabilities of
the fans in the server provide for continued operation
if one of the fans fail. You can also replace a failing
fan without turning off the server.
Note
Replace a fan that has failed as soon as
convenient to maintain the redundant cooling
capability of the server.
You can install an additional power supply to provide
redundant power for the server, or if you have an
optional redundant power supply installed, replace a
failing power supply without turning off the server.

system memory. The memory controller provides
error correcting code (ECC) support for up to 32
industry-standard, 3.3 V, 168-pin, single bank, 8-byte,
dual in-line memory modules.

IBM ServerGuide CDs
The ServerGuide CDs included with IBM Netfinity
servers provide programs to help you set up the
server and install the network operating system

the ServerGuide CDs include a variety of application
programs such as IBM Update Connector to help
keep the server BIOS and microcode updated, and
IBM Netfinity Manager for systems management.
For more information about the ServerGuide CDs,

of existing hardware devices and software applications.
As always, the IBM server meets stringent worldwide
certifications for power, electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), and safety. Refer to the “Help and Legal
