6-3
6-3 System Fans
Four 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 5018D-
MHR7N4P.
The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,
which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled
by IPMI.
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your
vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
SATA 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 SAS/SATA
drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
DVD-ROM Drive (optional): For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need
to gain access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section in this chapter for instructions.
Note that only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the 5018D-MHR7N4P.
Warning! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro web
