System Cooling
Five 8-cm hot-swappable fans provide the cooling for the system. It is very important that
the chassis top cover is properly installed and forms a tight seal so that the cooling air can
circulate through the chassis.
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fans
will ramp up to full speed. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same
type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).
Installing Fans
System power does not need to be shut down because the fans are hot-swappable.
1. Depress the tab on the side of the fan to unlock and remove the fan along with its
housing. The fan's power connections automatically detach.
2. Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro).
3. Position the new fan into the space vacated by the failed fan. An audible click indicates
that the fan is fully installed and power connections are made.
4. If system power is on, the hot-swap feature activates the fan immediately upon being
connected to its header on the motherboard.
Air Shroud
Generally you do not need to remove the air shroud to perform any service on the system.
However, if you need to temporarily remove it (the air shroud should always be in place when
the system is operating), follow this procedure.
Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The chassis air shroud does not
require screws to set up.
Installing the Air Shroud
1.
Confirm that your air shroud matches your chassis model.
2.
Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits behind the two fans closest to the
power supply.
