Fan Module Overview
Fan Module Overview
The fan module provides cooling for the internal components (
). The fan drawer is a
field-replaceable unit containing five fans, and is installed at the right rear of the SCE 2000 platform.
When a fan malfunctions, the fan module should be replaced as promptly as possible. Although it is
possible for the unit to function for some time with one non-functioning fan, this is not optimal or
recommended.

When a fan failure occurs, the environment monitor will send an error message to the console. An SNMP
trap indicating that the fan is not functioning properly is also sent. Note that a fan failure is often audible.
