Fan population and hot-plug support
The number of fans installed in the server determines fan redundancy. When redundant fan mode is enabled, hot-plug fan operation is supported.
Hot-plug – A failed fan can be replaced without powering down the server
Non-hot-plug – To replace a failed fan, the user must either:
Keep the server powered on and complete the fan replacement within 30 seconds of opening the access panel, or
Power down and disconnect all power from the server before removing the access panel for fan replacement.
