Thermal Management
Active Cooling
Two easily replaceable system fans behind the front panel force air to flow from the front to the back. Additionally,
the processor and high performance expansion cards have integrated cooling solutions or are equipped with
corresponding cooling devices, that help to maintain the ambient temperature. Replacing a defective fan only with
an original fan (see Table 5: Accessories and Spares Parts).
Operation is permitted only with functional fans! Replace a defective fan only with an
original fan.
Minimum Thermal Clearance
To guarantee that sufficient air flows from the front to the back, ensure that ventilation openings are not covered
or blocked by surrounding parts.
Ensure Sufficient Airflow.
Operate only in a well-ventilated environment that does not prevent the product from
drawing in air at the front and exhausting air at the rear.
Do not place the product close to heat sources or damp places.
Third Party Components
Use of third party components, such as expansion cards, increases the air temperature inside the chassis. The air
temperature in the chassis is higher than the ambient air temperature around the product.
