Power Supply and Cooling Fan Modules

The SC7020 series storage system supports two hot-swappable power supply/cooling fan modules.
The cooling fans that cool the storage system and the power supplies are integrated into the power supply/cooling fan module and
cannot be replaced separately. If one power supply/cooling fan module fails, the second module continues to provide power to the
storage system.
NOTE: When a power supply/cooling fan module fails, the cooling fan speed in the remaining module increases
significantly to provide adequate cooling. The cooling fan speed decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling
fan module is installed.
