Cooling

Each cell is cooled by two fan modules. Each fan module contains two 12-volt high-performance fans that provide the airflow required to cool the cell components and processors. The fan modules are mounted in the front of the cell.

Note: The power supplies within the cell are self-cooled.

The fans have four speeds. The system automatically adjusts fan speed based on the ambient and system component temperatures or under certain failure or maintenance conditions. If a fan fails or is removed, the system switches the remaining fans in the cell to high speed. The fans return to their normal speed when the failure condition is resolved.

The cooling system is n+1 redundant; that is, it can tolerate the failure of one fan. If two fans fail, the cell powers down. If a fan module is removed, the master power control turns off power to the cell after 2 minutes. This allows time for the fan or memory to be replaced.

The fans have a green LED that is on when the fan module is functioning properly. The green LED is off on a faulty fan module or if DC power is not applied to the cell. A fan module can be replaced by a customer.

Figure 2-11 shows the location of the fan modules on the front of the cell.
