System Cooling

Fans

Six 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan unit is actually
made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-
rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels.
Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so air circulates properly through the
chassis.
