The fan is integrated in a user-friendly, replaceable fan tray (hot-swap). The fan tray is designed to be inserted into the
fan tray slot (Fig. 39, pos. 6) on the bottom side of the KBox C-101. The fan tray simplifies the installation and removal of
this component, even during operation.
The fan rotation speed is temperature controlled in dependence on the CPU temperature. Thus, a reliable air circulation
for optimal active cooling of the KBox C-101 is ensured.
The temperature conditions of the system (depending on the environmental temperature and the system load) are
detected by the CPU temperature sensor.
In order to ensure a clean air circulation through the system, there is integrated in the fan tray slot assemblies on the
bottom side of the system, a holder (Fig. 39, pos. 2) with an installed air filter (Fig. 39, pos. 3).
The air filter, which protects your system against dust and dirt, is washable and may be replaced during operation refer to
subsection 14.6.2 “Cleaning the Air Filter”.
