System Cooling - Supermicro 5039AD-I User Manual

System Cooling

Three 120 mm fans provide the cooling for the system (two in the front, one in the rear).
Additionally, the following fan mount configurations are supported:
•
Front fans can be replaced with 140 mm fans.
•
Three fans can be installed on the chassis top (120 mm or 140 mm).
•
One 120 mm fan can be installed on the chassis bottom.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and forms a tight seal so
that the cooling air can circulate through the chassis.
Rear Fan
Adding or Replacing Fans
•
To replace the standard front fans, remove the chassis front dust filter.
•
To add a fan to the chassis bottom, the lower combination HDD cage must be removed.
