System Cooling
4.1.2
Base Cooling Solution
One 120 x 38mm fan and one 92 x 38mm fan provide cooling for the processors, hard drives,
and add-in cards. These two fans draw air through the rear of each hard drive bay to provide
drive cooling. In addition, the power supply fan provides cooling for the power supply.
4.1.2
Redundant Cooling Solution
Two hot swap 120x38mm fans and two hot swap 92x38mm fans provide cooling for the
processors, hard drives and add-in cards. The two 120x38mm fans ensure proper cooling of the
core area (processors and memory) and the hot swap drive bay. The two 92x38mm fans
provide cooling for the PCI card area. When any single fan fails, the remaining fans will increase
in speed and maintain cooling until the failed unit is replaced. All system fans provide a signal
for RPM detection that the server board can make available for server management functions.
