HPE 869489-B21

Overview

The HPE 869489-B21 is a redundant fan cooling module designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen10 server. It enhances thermal management by adding four 12 V DC fans housed in copper, which provide steady airflow to maintain safe operating temperatures for critical components like processors, memory, and storage drives. This module activates additional cooling automatically when heat levels rise or if a primary fan fails, helping to prevent thermal throttling and maintain server uptime.

Installation is simple and does not require sacrificing drive bays or expansion slots, as the module fits within the existing airflow path of Entry, Performance, and Solution configurations of the ML110 Gen10 chassis. This makes it a practical upgrade for small businesses, branch offices, and lab environments that depend on reliable server performance under varying temperature conditions.

Key features

• Redundant fan design ensures continuous cooling even if a main fan stops working, reducing the risk of overheating and downtime.
• Four 12 V DC fans housed in copper promote efficient heat transfer and steady airflow through the server chassis.
• Automatic fan speed adjustment based on temperature sensors optimizes cooling during heavy workloads while minimizing noise and power consumption during normal operation.
• Compact module fits seamlessly inside the ML110 Gen10 chassis without occupying additional drive bays or expansion slots.
• User-installable with built-in alignment points for straightforward mounting and integration.
• Supports consistent server performance and extends hardware lifespan by preventing heat buildup.

Key specs

• Fan count: 4
• Fan voltage: 12 V DC
• Material: Copper housing for improved heat dissipation
• Dimensions: Approximately 11.02 × 8.78 × 11.02 inches
• Weight: Around 3.9 pounds
• Compatibility: HPE ProLiant ML110 Gen10 Entry, Performance, and Solution models

Installation and setup

The cooling module is designed for easy installation within the ML110 Gen10 chassis, utilizing existing mounting points to secure the assembly without requiring additional hardware or modifications. Its compact footprint ensures it integrates smoothly into the server’s airflow path, maintaining optimal cooling efficiency without compromising available space for drives or expansion cards.

This makes it a convenient upgrade for IT administrators looking to enhance thermal protection without disrupting existing server configurations or workflows.

Ideal uses and environments

This redundant fan cooling module is well suited for environments where server reliability is critical and temperature fluctuations are common. Small businesses, branch offices, and labs running virtualization, database, or file services on the ML110 Gen10 will benefit from the added thermal protection. It helps reduce the risk of hardware failure due to overheating, especially in locations with limited on-site technical support or variable room temperatures.

By maintaining stable operating temperatures, it supports continuous server performance and helps lower long-term maintenance costs, making it a practical investment for organizations aiming to maximize uptime and hardware longevity.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
