DVD-ROM Drive Installation
The AS -1014S-WTRT can accommodate a slim DVD drive (optional). Side mounting brackets
are needed to install the DVD drive in the chassis.
Accessing a DVD-ROM Drive
Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
1. Unplug the power and data cables from the drive.
2. Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the drive when
viewed from the front of the chassis.
3. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis.
4. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear the faint
*click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.
5. Reconnect the data and power cables to the drive then replace the chassis cover and
restore power to the system.
System Cooling
Four 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan unit is actually
made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-
rotating action generates exceptional airflow and is effective in dampening vibration levels.
The chassis provides two additional open fan housings, where an additional system fan may
be added for optimal cooling.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is installed for the cooling air to circulate properly
through the chassis and cool the components.
Changing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the system is running to determine which fan has
failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis cover open.
2. Remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1
3. Unplug the fan cable from the motherboard and remove the failed fan from the chassis.
4. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm fan, available from Supermicro.
5. Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on
the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on
the other fans.
