6-7 System Cooling
Four to eight 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 works to
dampen vibration levels. Four compound fans come standard with the server, and
four more can be added.
Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so the cooling air circulates
properly through the chassis.
Optional Fans
Additional fans are recommended when expansion cards are added. This table
shows the fan positions.
