Component identification 85
For a dual-processor configuration, seven fans are required for redundancy. A fan failure or missing fan
causes a loss of redundancy. A second fan failure or missing fan causes an orderly shutdown of the
server.
The high performance fan option might be necessary for the following installations:
•
LR DIMM configuration
•
ASHRAE compliant configurations

The server supports variable fan speeds. The fans operate at minimum speed until a temperature change
requires a fan speed increase to cool the server. The server shuts down during the following
temperature-related scenarios:
•
At POST and in the OS, iLO 4 performs an orderly shutdown if a cautionary temperature level is
detected. If the server hardware detects a critical temperature level before an orderly shutdown
occurs, the server performs an immediate shutdown.
•
When the Thermal Shutdown feature is disabled in RBSU, iLO 4 does not perform an orderly
shutdown when a cautionary temperature level is detected. Disabling this feature does not disable
the server hardware from performing an immediate shutdown when a critical temperature level is
detected.
CAUTION:
A thermal event can damage server components when the Thermal Shutdown
feature is disabled in RBSU.
