2: Storage Enclosures

Fans

The storage enclosures each have two fan units. These fan units are mounted in the rear
of the enclosure (see Figure 2-6). They pull air through the front bezel to cool the internal
components of the enclosure. The air is exhausted out the rear of the fan units. The fans
provide redundant cooling of the enclosure. If one fan unit fails, the other fan unit runs
at a higher speed to compensate for the loss. Each fan unit has a fault light that
illuminates if there is a problem with the units.
