Fan

A 10-cm blower fan provides the cooling for the SuperServer 5014C-MF. The chas-

sis includes air seals under the blower fan and at the chassis cross section, which

separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis to promote

better airfl ow. 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 fan can adjust its speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,

which results in more effi cient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled

by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-11).

System Fan Failure

If the fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your

vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.
