Hot-Plug Fans
HP ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers support redundant hot-plug fans. If the
primary fan fails, the server generates a system alert and commands the redundant
fan to function automatically. The redundant hot-plug fan protects the various server
components from overheating, provides rapid serviceability, and minimizes the risk
of system interruption:
•
Standard: One hot-plug CPU fan, one hot-plug I/O fan, two required hot-plug
drive fans, and one redundant hot-plug drive fan
•
Optional: One redundant hot-plug CPU fan and one redundant hot-plug I/O fan
Hot-Plug Power Supplies
Improved power supply performance ensures that a single power supply provides
sufficient power to the entire system. Complete redundancy can be achieved by
installing only one additional power supply.
The standard and redundant power supplies run simultaneously under normal
operating conditions. The redundant hot-plug power supply ensures the delivery of
electricity to the server, provides rapid serviceability, and minimizes the risk of
system interruption.
In case of a loss of redundancy, the system sends an alert of the failure to the system
administrator. The failure does not cause any loss of power, and the failed unit can be
replaced without having to power down the server or save system data.
•
Standard: One hot-plug 600-W power supply
•
Optional: One hot-plug 600-W power supply
Hot-plug power supplies also have advanced features that ease operation:
•
Auto Line Sensing capability automatically selects the appropriate line voltage.
•
Power Down Manager ensures that ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 servers
deactivate in a manner that safeguards data and system integrity.
