on. The base c3000 enclosures ship with four fans installed, which supports up to four half-height devices or two full-height
server blades. By installing all six fans, the enclosure can be fully populated with eight half-height devices or four full-height
server blades. Figure 4-1 shows the rear view of a c3000 enclosure with all six fans installed.
