There are two fan assemblies containing two individual fans. One assembly is near the SCSI backplane in a housing that holds the PCI adapters and swings up on a hinge, and the other fan assembly is attached to the back-panel of the filer. This latter fan housing is used to help secure the PCI adapters in place.
