Fan Configuration

Two cooling solutions are employed in the Server Chassis SC5300. The base solution consists
of two fixed fans (92mm and 120mm) to provide sufficient system cooling. The second
redundant solution is designed for maximum up time by providing four replaceable hot-swap
fans (80mm and 120mm) that maintain proper system cooling, with a single failed fan. Air ducts
are used in both configurations and an active memory heat sink solution for the server board
memory may be required for a few system configurations.
4.1.1

Processor Passive Heat Sink Cooling Solution

Processors with passive heat sinks should be used unless otherwise indicated in the server
board manuals. The ducting shown (see the following figure) is designed to work with the
passive heat sink.
Air flows through the system from front to back. The heat sink solution used for the Server
Chassis SC5300 is provided with the Intel® Xeon™ processors.
