Hot-plug fans CAUTION: To avoid damage to server components, fan blanks must be installed in fan bays 1 and 2 in a single-processor configuration. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not operate the server for extended periods of time if the server does not have the optimal number of fans installed. Although the server might boot, HP does not recommend operating the server without the required fans installed and operating. Valid fan configurations are listed in the following table.

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. Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a supported configuration. For a dual-processor configuration, six 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: ● Optional GPU riser installations ● ASHRAE compliant configurations 14 Chapter 2 Component identification

For a single-processor configuration, four fans and two blanks are required in specific fan bays 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.
Installing more than the required number of fans in a single-processor configuration is not a supported
configuration.
For a dual-processor configuration, six 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:
Optional GPU riser installations
