System Fans
Four 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the A+ Server 1012A-MTF.
The chassis includes air seals under the fans and at the chassis cross section, which
separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the chassis to promote
better airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and making
a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis.
The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,
which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled
by a setting in BIOS.
If a fan fails, replace it with the same type. Contact your vendor or Supermicro for
information on replacement fans.

Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Removing the Front Bezel
If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must first
remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, first unlock the
front of the chassis then press the release knob. Carefully remove the bezel with
both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be removed for replacement or
cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning and
replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system.
