Step 4: Changing the System’s Fans (zx6000 systems only)
This section explains how to change the system’s fans for use in a rack enclosure. There
are four fan modules (not including the processor’s turbo fan or fans) that keep the
system cool when it is running. See
Figure 1-8. If you have a rx2600, you can skip to the
section “Step 5: Installing the System’s Rack Latches” in this chapter.
