7.3. Fan Slide-in Module and Temperature Sensors
The three system fans (Fig. 24, pos. 3) are integrated in a user-friendly, replaceable fan slide-in module (hot-swap)
(Fig. 11, pos. 9 and Fig. 38, pos. 1). The fan slide-in module is mounted in a fan compartment on the front side of the
system (Fig. 39, pos. 5).
The system fans are temperature controlled via the temperature sensors installed in the KISS 4U KTC5520 platform. Thus,
a reliable air circulation for optimal active cooling of the platform is guaranteed.
The temperature conditions of the system (depending on the environmental temperature and the system load) are
detected by three temperature sensors. Two temperature sensors are located in the rear part (near the ventilation
openings) and the second sensor is placed sideways in the mid part of the KISS 4U KTC5520 platform.
