Checking the Server Air Flow
•
Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server.
•
Use only recommended server parts.
•
Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct air flow through the chassis. Pull all excess
cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.
The control panel LEDs display system heat status. See "Control Panel" in Chapter 1 for
details.
Overheating
There are several possible responses if the system overheats.
If the server overheats:
1. Use the overheat/fan fail LED to determine the nature of the overheating condition.
2. Confirm that the chassis covers are installed properly.
3. Make sure all fans are present and operating normally.
4. Check the routing of the cables.
5. Verify that the air shroud is installed properly.
Caution: If the operating temperature exceeds 30º C and the system fans are not active, a
LAN component may become overheated.
