    1.4.2.1 Fan Status Monitor The RES-XR4-3U has two 120-mm cooling fans for the motherboard components and one within each power supply. The PC health monitor utility can be used to check the RPM status of cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are con- trolled by Thermal Management via BIOS.

  • Page 50: System Resource Alert

    1.4.3 Power Supply Monitoring The power supplies in the Themis RES servers support a feature allowing their status to be queried directly through software. The power supplies are connected to an I bus used for system monitoring. This bus can be reached through the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), (described in subsequent paragraphs), on the moth- erboard.

    = Not Applicable. 1.5.1.1 System Power The RES-XR4-3U operates with two N+1 redundant power supplies of 750-watts capacity each that auto-range single-phase AC input from 100 to 240 Vac (47 to 63 Hertz) sources. Filtered and fused (internal) AC is supplied to each power supply connection.

  • Page 56: Output Voltage

    The RES-XR4-3U conforms to the 54-db noise specification. It is possible to achieve further noise reduction by installing a sound baffle on both the front and rear of the RES-XR4-3U chassis (See Figure 1-12 on page 1-27 and Figure 1-13 on page 1-28). Call your Themis representative for additional information.

    Figure 1-12. RES-XR4-3U with Noise Baffle Installed (Front View) Note: All RES systems are shipped with BIOS fan speed set to the quietest mode. The default fan speed control mode of the RES-XR4-3U is Energy Saving/ES. Front Access—Opening the two front doors of the RES-XR4-3U requires removing the front sound baffle.

  • Page 58: Figure 1-13 Res-Xr4-3U With Rear Sound Baffle Installed (Rear View)

    Rear Access—Accessing the I/O connectors and PCI card I/O on the rear of the RES-XR4-3U requires opening the rear sound baffle door. To do this, loosen the four (4) captive knurled Phillips screws (A in Figure 1-13) holding the baffle door to the chassis and swing the door downward away from the chassis, exposing the rear con- nectors and PCI cards.

    1—Overview and Specifications Specifications Figure 1-14. RES-XR4-3U with Rear Baffle Open Removing the protective top cover for access to the interior requires that the rear sound baffle be totally removed (this can be done with the baffle door closed). To do this, five (5) M3x4 flathead Phillips screws (B in Figure 1-13, page 1-28) must be removed, two on each side of the baffle and one (captive) in the middle on the top.
