System fan
Supported fan-pack types: Standard fan-pack 4056 (28000 RPM, single rotor) Performance fan-pack 4056 (28000 RPM, dual rotors) Ultra fan-pack 4056 (31000 RPM, dual rotors) Fan redundancy: N+1 redundancy, one redundant fan rotor One processor: three hot-swap dual-rotor system fan-packs (one redundant fan rotor) Two processors: four hot-swap dual-rotor system fan-packs (one redundant fan rotor) Note The redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if one rotor fails. When the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fan-pack 2 works at a much lower speed. In this case, if XCC has detected that OCP 1 module is installed, fan-pack 2 works; if OCP 2 module is installed, fan-pack 3 works. This is the system design to provide proper cooling.

Electrical input and power policy
Electrical input for power supply units Common Redundant Power Supply (CRPS) and CRPS Premium are supported as listed below: CAUTION 240 V dc input is supported in Chinese Mainland ONLY. Power supply with 240 V dc input cannot support hot plugging power cord function. Before removing the power supply with dc input, please turn off server or disconnect dc power sources at the breaker panel or by turning off the power source. Then, remove the power cord. CRPS power supplies in the chassis must have the same wattage, vendor, and part number (or alternate part number).
