6-3 System Fans

Two 10-cm blower fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 5014C-T. 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 airflow. 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 fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-13).

System Fan Failure

If a fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace Serial ATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.

CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 5014C-T by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 5014C-T.
