3-6 System Fan
A 12-cm chassis cooling fan housed in a fan duct is located just below the peripheral
drive bays to provide cool air intake for the system.
Preparation
Under normal operation, the chassis fan and the exhaust fan run continuously. The
chassis fan is hot-pluggable and can be replaced without powering down the system.
Removing a Fan
1. Release the clips that secure the fan duct to the chassis. You can then pull
the fan duct out from its location in the chassis.
2. Remove the four screws at the front of the fan duct that hold the fan in place.
Then release the two fasteners along the side of the fan duct.
3. You can now separate it into two pieces and easily remove the fan. Add a
new fan of the same type.
Installing a New Fan
1. Replace the failed fan with an identical one (available from Supermicro)
2. Install it in the same position and orientation as the one you removed.
3. Check that the fan is working, then replace the chassis cover.
