Fan Module Overview

Fan Module Overview

The fan module provides cooling for the internal components. The fan drawer is a field-replaceable unit
containing five fans, and is installed at the right rear of the SCE 1000 platform
When a fan malfunctions, the fan module should be replaced as promptly as possible. Although it is
possible for the unit to function for some time with one non-functioning fan, this is not optimal or
recommended.
