6-3 System Fans
Four 8-cm fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 6022P-
i. It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and
making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through
the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-2.
System Fan Failure
The fans run at 3400 rpm. If a fan fails, the ambient air temperature in the
chassis will rise and activate the overheat LED on the control panel. Re-
place any failed fan immediately. The hot plug fans will start to function
upon connection to its fan header on the P4DPi-G2 motherboard.
Replacing System Cooling Fans
1. Removing a fan:
Remove the chassis cover. Press the tabs on the top of the fan housing
and remove the fan and its housing. The system power need not be shut
down since the fans are all hot-pluggable on the P4DPi-G2 motherboard.
2. Installing a new fan:
Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro, p/n Fan-044). Position the new fan at its proper place in the
chassis by fitting the fan with its housing onto the fan mounts in the
chassis. A "click" can be heard if the fan (in its housing) is properly
installed. If the system power is on, the hot-pluggable fan feature will
cause the fan to start immediately upon being connected to its header on
the motherboard.
