Description

HPE X711 Front (Port Side) to Back (Power Side) Airflow High Volume Fan Tray

Elevate your data-center cooling with the HPE X711 Front to Back Airflow High Volume Fan Tray. This purpose-built cooling solution is engineered for front-to-back air discharge, delivering high-volume airflow that moves heat away from hot components across dense server configurations. Designed to slot into HPE architectures where the port-side intake aligns with the chassis’s cooling path and the power-side exhaust directs air away from critical components, the X711 tray ensures consistent temperatures, improved reliability, and sustained performance under heavy workloads. Its modular, hot-swappable design minimizes downtime during maintenance, upgrades, or routine replacements, making it a trusted component in enterprise servers and blade environments. Whether you’re managing a high-density rack, a data-center with multi-tenant workloads, or a compute-heavy cluster, this fan tray provides the airflow you need to protect CPUs, memory, storage, and I/O rails from thermal throttling. By optimizing airflow paths and reducing hotspots, the X711 tray helps maximize efficiency, lower operational risk, and extend the life of your server hardware. In short, it’s a robust, scalable cooling solution built for the rigors of modern IT infrastructure and the demanding requirements of HP/HPE systems.

  • High-volume axial fans deliver powerful, consistent airflow to rapidly move cooling air across hot components, helping to prevent thermal throttling and maintain peak performance during sustained workloads. This design supports dense configurations where every degree matters for reliability and throughput, making it ideal for data-center deployments and enterprise applications that demand deterministic cooling.
  • Front-to-back discharge pattern optimizes the airflow pathway to align with common HPE chassis layouts, improving cabinet-wide cooling efficiency. By directing heat toward the exhaust side, this fan tray helps balance airflow throughout the enclosure, reducing hotspots around CPUs, GPUs, memory banks, and storage controllers while preserving overall thermal margins.
  • Hot-swappable, tool-less construction minimizes downtime. When maintenance or replacement is required, technicians can remove and replace the tray without shutting down the entire server or disturbing other components, enabling faster repairs and improved system availability.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability with built-in monitoring features. The X711 tray includes status indicators and sensors that feed into the server management system, enabling real-time visibility into fan speed, operational health, and potential faults for proactive maintenance and faster incident response.
  • Compatibility and flexible deployment across HPE X711 configurations. The tray is designed to integrate with supported HPE servers and chassis that use the port-to-power side orientation, ensuring straightforward installation, consistent airflow performance, and scalable cooling as workloads grow.

Technical Details of HPE X711 Front to Back Airflow High Volume Fan Tray

  • Airflow pattern: Front-to-back discharge engineered to move air from the port-side intake toward the power-side exhaust for optimal chassis cooling.
  • Discharge capacity: High-volume fans designed to maximize overall airflow across dense server components and hot zones.
  • Orientation and mounting: Front (port side) intake to back (power side) exhaust, compatible with standard HPE X711 configurations and chassis layouts.
  • Maintenance: Hot-swappable, tool-less design allows rapid replacement with minimal downtime and without removing adjacent components.
  • Monitoring and indicators: Integrated indicators and sensor feedback support server management tools for visibility into fan operation and health.
  • Form factor: Standard fan tray form factor designed for seamless integration into supported HPE servers and enclosure backplanes.

How to install HPE X711 Front to Back Airflow High Volume Fan Tray

  • Power down the server and unplug from the power source. Use proper ESD precautions before handling any internal components.
  • Open the chassis access panel to locate the existing fan tray slot designated for the X711 assembly. If diagnosing a fault, inspect for debris or obstruction before removal.
  • If removing an existing tray, gently release any securing latches or screws and slide the old unit out along the guides. Keep related screws or fasteners for the new tray installation.
  • Align the new HPE X711 fan tray with the guides inside the chassis. Carefully slide the tray in until it seats firmly against the backplane connectors and mounting points.
  • Secure the tray with the appropriate screws or latches, ensuring firm, even contact without overtightening. Verify that connectors are fully seated on both power and data interfaces if applicable.
  • Reconnect any required power cables and data leads. Close the chassis access panel and restore power to the system.
  • Power on the server and enter the management interface to verify fan health. Confirm that the front-to-back airflow is active, check RPM readings, and ensure there are no fault indicators.
