Checking the Air Flow
1.
Make sure there are no wires or other objects obstructing the airflow in and out of the
server. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.
2. Do not operate the server without drives or drive carriers in the drive bays. Use only
recommended server parts.
3. The control panel LEDs inform you of the overall system status. See Chapter 1 System
Interface for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
System Fans
Eight counter-rotating fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through
the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature.
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.
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature through IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining
fans will ramp up to full speed and the system will continue to run. Replace any failed fan
at your earliest convenience with the same type and model. The failed fan can be identified
through the IPMI.
