Fans
The S6100–ON comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan module installed in the chassis. The fan module and power
supply, which have integrated fans, are hot-swappable.
In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately.
The S6100-ON supports two airflow direction options. DO NOT mix airflow types in a chassis; you can use only a single airflow
direction in a chassis. If the airflow directions are mismatched, the S6100-ON issues an alarm. You must correct the mismatched
airflow direction.
The fans and PSUs are color coded for air flow direction. Red is normal air flow and blue is reverse air flow.
● Normal—airflow is from the I/O panel to the PSU—red.
● Reversed—airflow is from the PSU to the I/O panel—blue.
All fans and PSUs in a configuration must be in the same airflow direction.
Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between fan replacements. Check the environmental factors
regularly. An increase in temperature and particulate matter in the air might affect performance; for example, new equipment
installation.
CAUTION: Check the fans at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. Regularly monitor the speeds
of the fans to accurately determine replacement intervals.
