6-4 System Fans
One 10-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the A+ AS1012A-MRF.
The chassis includes air seals under the fans and at the chassis cross section, which
separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the chassis to promote
better airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and making
a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis.
The fan 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 a setting in 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.
6-5 Drive Bay
The SATA drive is not hot-swappable, meaning system power must be turned off
before installing or removing.
1. First power down the system and then remove the top cover of the chassis.
2. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive, then push the
drive tray out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through the
front of the chassis.
3. Remove the drive from the drive tray.
4. To add a new SATA drive, install a drive into the tray with the printed circuit
board side facing down and so that the mounting holes align with those in the
tray.
5. Secure the drive to the tray with the four screws.
6. Replace the top cover when finished. See Figure 6-3.
Note : The 1012A-MRF can accommodate two internal SATA hard drives, one on
each side of the fan.
