System Fans

Four 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the Acnodes RMC7135. The chassis
includes air seals under the blower fans and at the chassis cross section, which separates the drive
bay area from the serverboard 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 Chapter
7).

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.

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 re-
lease knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully re- move the bezel with both hands. A filter located within the
bezel can be removed for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log
of filter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system.
