Hi Li, Page 10 of the DELL R710 Technical Guide book has a short description (and photo) of the five hot-swappable fans: "five hot-swappable fans are mounted in a fan gantry that is located in the chassis between the hard drive bay and the processors. Each fan has a blind mate 2x2 connector that plugs directly into the planar. There is an additional fan integrated in each power supply to cool the power supply subsystem and also provide additional cooling for the whole system. Single processor configurations will have four fans populated."
