Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-5
6-3 System Fans
A 9-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. A 12-cm exhaust
fan at the rear of the chassis pulls the cool air through the system and expels
the hot air.
Fan Failure
Under normal operation, the chassis, the exhaust and the power supply fans all
run continuously. If any of these three fans fail, the system must be powered
down before replacing them.
Replacing System Fans
1. Identifying and accessing the fan
First, inspect the back of the chassis to see if it is the 12-cm fan that has
failed. Power down the system and remove the left chassis cover by first
removing the two screws from the back lip of the cover. Push in the release
tab on the cover and push the cover toward the rear of the chassis until it
stops (after moving about ½ inch). Then lift the cover out and away from the
chassis. (See Figure 2-1 for accessing the inside of the chassis.)
2. Removing the fan duct assembly
9-cm fan: After removing the side chassis cover, 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. 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. You can now separate it into two pieces and easily remove the
fan (see Figure 6-4). Add a new fan of the same type (see step 3).
The 12-cm exhaust fan is also in a housing that can be removed from the
chassis after removing the left chassis cover (see Figure 6-5).
3. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical one (available from Supermicro).
After the new fan has been installed into the fan duct, reassemble the fan
duct and perform the removal procedure in reverse to install the entire fan
duct assembly back into the chassis. Make sure the wiring for the fan is
also reattached to its proper header. Finish by replacing the left chassis
cover, then restore power to the system. Check that the replaced fan is
working properly.
