Power-Fan Canisters
The power-fan canister, with an integrated cooling fan, is a replaceable canister within a
drive module.
Each drive module contains two power-fan canisters. The power-fan canister converts
incoming AC power to DC power. The fan circulates air inside the module by pulling air
in through the vents on the front of the canister and pushing air out of the vents on the
back of each fan.

Redundancy
Because each drive module contains two power-fan canisters, if one power-fan canister is
turned off or malfunctions, the other power-fan canister can maintain electrical power to
the drive module.
Likewise, each power-fan canister contains two fans. The fans provide redundant cooling.
If one of the fans in either power-fan canister fails, the remaining fans will continue to
provide sufficient cooling to operate the drive module.
Each power-fan canister uses a 2-meter (6.56 ft.) power cord for connection to the rack’s
power distribution unit (PDU) or wall outlet.
