    System Fans Seven 4-cm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the 8016B- 6F/8016B-TF. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates excep- tional airfl ow and works to dampen vibration levels. It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

    Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Installing/Removing SAS/SATA Drives The drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).
