Maximum 7 Hot plug, redundant fans (individually removable)
Redundant Cooling Zones across major server subsystems (Memory, I/O, CPU) provide 7x24
cooling. Each zone is independent of each other and is able to support n+ 1 redundancy, as
indicated below:
PCI-X expansion zone is 1 + 1 redundant (fans 1 and 2)
Memory zone is 1 + 1 redundant (fans 3 and 4)
CPU zone is 2 + 1 redundant (fans 5, 6, and 7)
This zone configuration enables the server to withstand up to three fan failures, provided that they
are not within the same zone. Each fan is hot plug redundant and individually removable.
