Cooling Subsystem

Use the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Cooling page to view the health and number of fans installed in your system. Additionally, you can view the server inlet and exhaust temperatures. Review the Fans table for details about the health and location of individual fans.

System cooling air flows from front to back. Primary cooling is provided by eight redundant front panel accessible 100 watt hot-swappable cooling fan modules.

To maintain the integrity of the chassis cooling system, ensure that:

  • Empty slots have filler panels. All necessary fillers ship with the system.

  • Each drive bay contains a storage device or a drive slot filler.

  • All DPCCs are installed regardless of whether they contain a card or not.

  • Both fan frames are populated with fan modules.

  • All CMOD processors have a heatsink.

  • Each SMOD bay has an SMOD.

  • All four power supplies are installed.
