System Cooling - Supermicro 530AD-I User Manual

3.10 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 (120mm or 140mm).
• 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.
