NOTE:
The hot-plug fan LEDs are not part of the fan housing. The figure above shows the
LEDs as if the fan were installed in the server.
CAUTION:
Never remove both hot-plug fans while the server is powered up.
Overheating and damage to hardware could result. If the appropriate Compaq
software drivers are installed, the operating system software will initiate a
power shutdown in the event of overheating.
