HPE DL380 G6 not loading - two out of six coolers are faulty

[KPN]

Hello! I have a two-unit server HPE DL380 G6 (two processors). This server has 6 coolers (hpe 496066-001) . Two coolers failed. The server is not loading. Error loading: "1611-Fan 2 Failure 1611-Fan 3 Failure Fan Solution Not Sufficient" and reboot again. After checking, it turned out that one socket for the cooler was also faulty. Thus, even if I replace faulty coolers, I will have five working coolers instead of six. Will the server load and work normally with 5 working coolers? Is it possible to start a server with four coolers? For example, if I turn off one processor?
