Installing the Fan Tray The C-Series chassis contains one field-replaceable fan tray. There are two types of fan tray that may be installed: one contains six fans that run at varying speeds depending on system temperature; the other one contains six fans that run at a constant speed. For both types of trays, air flows through the system toward the fans (right to left) and is exhausted on fan-side of the chassis. The fan tray is accessible from the front of the chassis. WARNING: To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, the fan tray must always be installed and operating properly. NOTE: The system does not have an air filter so take special care in making sure that the installation site and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.

Installing the Fan Tray
The C-Series chassis contains one field-replaceable fan tray. There are two types
of fan tray that may be installed: one contains six fans that run at varying speeds

constant speed. For both types of trays, air flows through the system toward the
fans (right to left) and is exhausted on fan-side of the chassis. The fan tray is
accessible from the front of the chassis.
WARNING: To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, the fan tray
must always be installed and operating properly.
NOTE:
The system does not have an air filter so take special care in making sure
that the installation site and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.
