Hot-Swap Fan Assembly (Netfinity 7000-M10 - Type 8680)


Hot-Swap Fan Assembly

The server comes with two hot-swap fan assemblies in the front access cover and two hot-swap fan assemblies behind the hot-swap drive bays.

Notes:

  1.  You do not need to turn off the power to the server to replace a fan assembly.
  2.  Replace a fan assembly that has failed as soon as convenient to maintain the redundant cooling capability.
