Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Three 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 5013C- M8. The chassis includes air seals under the 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.
System Fan Failure
The fans run at a full 100% rpm. 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
Removing the Front Bezel
If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must first remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, first unlock the front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully remove the bezel with both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be re- moved for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow through- out the whole system.
