HPE 878937-001 DL160/DL325 Fan Assembly

HPE 878937-001 DL160 and DL325 Gen10 Cooling Fan

The HPE 878937-001 is a standard single-rotor cooling fan module associated with the HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 and DL325 Gen10 rack servers. It helps maintain airflow through the server chassis, supporting the cooling of processors, memory and other internal components.

This replacement fan is suitable for businesses maintaining existing Gen10 server hardware. Before ordering, confirm the spare part number and cooling configuration of your server.

Technical Specifications

Cooling Support for 1U ProLiant Servers

Rack servers have limited internal space, making effective airflow important. The HPE 878937-001 helps move air through the chassis to manage heat generated during normal server operation.

If a cooling fan fails, the server may report a hardware warning or increase the speed of other fans. In some circumstances, cooling problems can affect system availability.

Replacing a confirmed faulty fan helps restore the server’s intended cooling arrangement.

How to Check Whether Your Fan Needs Replacing

Inspect the cooling system if you notice unusual fan noise, temperature warnings or fan-related hardware alerts.

For supported systems, HPE iLO and server event logs can help identify a fan that is not operating correctly.

Before replacing the component, check that the fan is seated correctly and that ventilation is not blocked. A cooling alert may also be caused by another hardware issue.

Compatibility with DL160 Gen10 and DL325 Gen10

The 878937-001 fan is commonly listed for HPE ProLiant DL160 Gen10 and DL325 Gen10 servers.

However, HPE’s maintenance documentation identifies 878537-001 as a standard fan spare for these server families. Some suppliers list 878937-001 as a related fan module variant.

For this reason, confirm compatibility using the original fan label, server serial number or HPE PartSurfer before purchasing.

In particular, check whether your server uses a standard single-rotor fan or a different cooling configuration. Do not assume that standard and high-performance fan modules are interchangeable.

New and Refurbished HPE 878937-001

New Fan Module

A New or unused HPE 878937-001 may be suitable for replacing a failed cooling component or keeping a spare available for planned maintenance.

Confirm the supplied assembly, condition and warranty before ordering.

Refurbished Fan Module

A Refurbished fan can offer a cost-conscious replacement for an existing Gen10 server.

For refurbished stock, ask whether the fan has been inspected for connector damage, unusual noise and correct operation. Confirm whether functional testing has been completed.

Both conditions are subject to availability, and UK delivery and warranty terms should be checked before purchase.

Installation and Maintenance

Follow the maintenance instructions for your exact ProLiant server model when replacing the fan.

HPE identifies fan modules in the DL160 Gen10 and DL325 Gen10 as customer-replaceable components. However, the correct removal procedure and service precautions should always be followed.

After installation, check the fan status through the server’s management interface and confirm that cooling warnings have cleared.
