Fan Module Overview

Step 8 Ensure that the power supply is properly aligned and the installation screw is tightened.

This completes the steps for reconnecting the DC-input power supply to the SCE 2000 platform.

Fan Module Overview

The fan module provides cooling for the internal components. The fan drawer is a field- replaceable unit containing five fans, and is installed at the right rear of the SCE 2000 platform.

When a fan malfunctions, the fan module should be replaced as promptly as possible. Although it is possible for the unit to function for some time with one non-functioning fan, this is not optimal or recommended.
