Note
  • 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.
