• Each of the power supply bays has either a power supply or a filler panel installed

• The server cover is in place during normal operation

• There is at least 50 mm (2 inches) of ventilated space at the sides of the server and

100 mm (4 inches) at the rear of the server

• The server cover is removed for no longer than 30 minutes while the server is

operating

• The processor housing cover covering the processor and memory area is removed

for no longer that ten minutes while the server is operating

• A removed hot-swap drive is replaced within two minutes of removal

• Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided

with the adapters (ensure that cables are not restricting air flow)

• The fans are operating correctly and the air flow is good

• A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours

In addition, ensure that the environmental specifications for the server are met. See

“Features and specifications” on page 3“Features and specifications” on page 3.

Note: The speed of the fans will increase if:
