System Fans
One 10-cm blower fan provides the cooling for the 1010S-MR. The chassis includes
air seals under the blower fans and at the chassis cross section, which separates the
drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis to promote better airfl ow.
It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and making a good seal
in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis.
The fan can adjust its speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,
which results in more effi cient and quiter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by
a setting BIOS (see page 7-11).
System Fan Failure
If the fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your
vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans. The fan sits on two
mounting posts secured with screws. See Figure 6-3.
