The individual system fans are not hot-swappable and require the system to be turned off before
being replaced. The chassis is classified as a “Service Access Only” device and caution should
be exercised when replacing a system fan, as they do not have finger guards. However,
provisions are built into the fan bracket to prevent service technicians from accidental contact
with fan rotors. Each fan within the module is capable of supporting multiple speeds. If the
internal ambient temperature of the system exceeds the value programmed into the thermal
sensor data record (SDR), the BMC firmware will increase the speed for all the fans within the
fan module.
Each fan connector within the module supplies two tachometer signals (one for each fan rotor)
allowing for baseboard management to monitor the status of each fan rotor. If one of the fans
should fail, the remaining fans will increase their rotation and attempt to maintain the thermal
requirements of the system.
Each system fan has an associated fan fault LED which is located next to its respective fan
cable connector on the mid-plane board.
The fan fault LED is controlled by the BMC. If either
fan rotor within a system fan fails, it will illuminate the fan fault LED and log the failure into the
System Event Log.
