6-5 System Fans
One 12-cm exhaust fan is included to expel hot air from the chassis. This is a low-
noise fan that results in "Whisper-Quiet" operation (~21 dB). The fans should be
connected to headers on the motherboard (see Chapter 5).
The power supply also includes a cooling fan. If a power supply fan fails, you should
replace the power supply at your earliest convenience.
Fan Failure
Under normal operation, the exhaust fan and the power supply fan run continu-
ously. The chassis fans are hot-pluggable and can be replaced without powering
down the system.
Replacing Optional Chassis Cooling Fans
Removing a Fan
1. First locate the failed chassis fan by removing the top/left chassis cover (see
Chapter 2 for details). Locate the fan that has stopped working.
2. Disconnect the power cord to the chassis and disconnect the cable to the fan.
3. Remove the two screws securing the fan bracket to the chassis.
4. Remove the four screws securing the fan to the fan bracket.
5. Lift the fan up and out of the chassis.
Installing a New Fan
1. Replace the failed fan with an identical one (available from Supermicro)
2. Secur the fan to the bracket with four screws and secure the bracket to the
chassis with two screws.
3. Install it in the same position and orientation as the one you removed.
4. Check that the fan is working then replace the chassis cover.
