Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

NOTE:
Your storage array includes two integrated, hot-swappable power
supply/cooling fan modules.
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 5 minutes. Beyond that time, the array
may automatically shut down to prevent damage.
