System fan
  • Supported fan types:

    • Standard fan 6038 (single-rotor, 17000 RPM)

    • Performance fan 6056 (dual-rotor, 21000 RPM)

  • Fan redundancy: N + 1 redundancy, one redundant fan rotor

    • Supports fan redundancy when using six 6038 fans, four 6056 fans or six 6056 fans

    • Not support fan redundancy when using four 6038 fans

Note

  • Single-rotor hot-swap fans cannot be mixed with dual-rotor hot-swap fans.

  • The redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if one rotor of a fan fails.

  • When the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fans 1 and 2 may continue to spin at a much lower speed. This is the system design to provide proper cooling.

Power supplies
The server supports up to two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy.
