PowerEdge R450 - fan types

Hello, for sales purpose i am looking for info regarding the R450 server fans, are the hop-plug or hot-swap ? Especialy the hot-plug feature is a must have and i didn't find any info. Can someone verify ?

Hello thanks for choosing Dell. It should be hot swappable. 

Let us know if you have any further questions. Wish you a good one.

Is there any written Dell document to confirm that they are hot swappable (or hutplug) ? I cannot find such information anywhere.

Hi,

i would not recommend hot swap because you have to open the chassis:

As i wrote it is a sales problem so we do not plan to swap any fans. We are looking for confirmation, that the fans can be hotplugged/hotswapped.

Hello marcin.rabiniak,

 

Unfortunately the fans cannot be hot swap.

Hot swap components will have an orange tab or some other piece. 

Cold swap components will have a blue tab or piece.

 

Features of the cooling fans:

*Cooling fans are labeled FAN 1 through FAN 7.

*All cooling fans are cold swappable.

*The cooling fan labels are printed on the fan cage.

Hello marcin.rabiniak

My sincere apology for misinformation. I misread your inquiry. I would have and should have presented the same link that Martin also provided previously, for the grounds of my assertion. https://dell.to/44aLFWH
