5U84 Storage Shelf cooling modules
The 5U84 Storage Shelves include five cooling modules. The cooling modules provide cooling to the entire unit, which is suitable to maintain the internal component temperatures below each components maximum temperature limits.
Table: 5U84 Storage Shelf cooling module component locations
Number | Component |
|---|---|
1 | High performance, contra-rotating cooling fans |
2 | Release latch |
3 | Handle |
4 | Mid-plane connector |
Cooling modules provide the following features:
Fast removal and replacement times without the need to turn off the storage shelf.
Electronic fan speed control to the fans.
Redundant serial interface connections to the rest of the storage shelf system.
Cooling module redundancy
Redundancy includes:
Maintaining the cooling function of the cooling module in the event of a single fan rotor failure.
Maintaining the normal operation of the cooling module if one cooling control or fan controller module fails.
Automatically switching fan speeds to Full/High mode if the cooling module control unit fails.
Maintaining the normal operation of the storage shelf for two minutes when a cooling module is swapped out due to a failure.
