224 Management: Installing Array Components
Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module
The array supports two hot-swappable power supply/cooling fan modules.
While the array can operate temporarily with one module, both the modules
must be present for proper system cooling.
CAUTION: A single power supply/cooling fan module can be removed from a
powered-on array for a maximum period of five minutes. Beyond that time, the
array may automatically shut down to prevent damage.
Removing a Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.
NOTE: If you remove a fully functioning power supply/cooling fan module, the fan
speed in the remaining module increases significantly to provide adequate cooling.
The fan speed decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling fan module
is installed.
