Chapter 1: Introduction

Cooling System

The SC850P4 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes 9-cm hot-

plug redundant system cooling fans and two airflow guides. All fans operate

continuously. If one fails, an alarm is activated and the RPM of the remaining

fans increase to compensate and maintain sufficient airflow. Additional cooling

for the SCSI drive bays is provided by two 12-cm exhaust fans.
