System Fans
The main serverboard is cooled by a set of seven 4-cm high-performance PWM fans. Fan speed
is constant unless modified via a setting in BIOS. Each power supply also has its own dedicated
cooling fan (one or two depending on supply type).
System Fan Failure
Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can
continue to run with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running
to determine which of the fans has failed. Power down the system before replacing a fan.
Removing the power cord is also recommended as a safety precaution.
Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Hard Disk Drives: Because of their hot-swap capability, you do not need to access the inside of
the chassis or power down the system to install or replace disk drives. Proceed to the next step for
instructions.
Note:
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the optional hot-swap
capability of the SATA/SAS drives.
Use caution when working around the disk drive backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any
metal objects and make sure no cables touch the backplane. Also, regardless of how many drives
are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the chassis to maintain proper airflow.
Disk Drive Removal and Installation
The system disk drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the system. For this reason,
even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.
