Fans
Compaq ProLiant ML530 servers ship standard with two hot-pluggable system fans (one CPU
and one I/O) and three hot-pluggable drive fans. The two system fan baskets are designed to
allow for a redundant hot-pluggable fan in each basket. Figure 2-4 and Table 2-1 illustrate the
location of all fans in Compaq ProLiant ML530 servers, with the fan name and the description
of what is cooled by each fan.
NOTE: Fan speed will vary with the internal temperature of the server. Automatic adjustment of fan
speed differs in accordance with installed drivers.
NOTE: Fans may continue to spin after a temporary failure occurs. Replace failed fans (amber LED) even
if spinning continues.
