6-3 System Fans

Two 10-cm blower fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 6012L-6. 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. See Figure 6-2.

System Fan Failure

The fans run at 3200 rpm. If a fan fails, the ambient air temperature in the chassis will rise and activate the overheat LED on the control panel. Re- place any failed fan immediately with the same type and model. You must power down the system before replacing a cooling fan (removing the power cord is also recommended as a safety precaution).

Replacing System Cooling Fans

1.Removing a fan:

Remove the chassis cover. Detach the fan wires from their connection to the motherboard. Remove the screws that secure the fan to the chassis and lift the blower fan out.

2.Installing a new fan:

Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro: p/n FAN-038). Install the new fan in its proper place in the chassis by positioning it on the two mounting posts. Secure the fan to the chassis with the screws you removed previously, then attach the fan wires to the connector on the motherboard. Finish by replacing the chassis cover and power cord and restoring power to the system.
