Chapter 6 Installing Fan Trays

Access the fan tray slots from the rear of the chassis (Figure 9). Two fan trays are required in the chassis. When a fan tray is not installed in the lower slot, a self-closing door will seal the slot. Panel blanks are not required. However, to ensure fail-safe chassis operation, do not operate the chassis with only one fan tray for more than 30 minutes.

Warning: Install the fan trays before you supply power to the system.

Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventative wrist or foot-heal ground strap when handling chassis components. After you remove the original packaging, place chassis components on an antistatic surface.
