Under all of the following conditions, standard fans can be used. Otherwise, performance fans are required.
No GPUs
No Mellanox ConnectX-6 100 GbE/200 GbE with AOC
No Xilinx Alveo U25 FPGA
No Xilinx Alveo U50 FPGA
No Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-port OCP
No 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs
No middle drive bays or rear drive bays
The following configurations require six fans:
two-processor configurations
one-processor configurations with middle drives, rear drives, or riser 3
If there is an OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter installed, when the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fans 5 and fan 6 will continue to spin at a much lower speed. This is the system design to provide proper cooling for the OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter.
