II. System Components

Air Circulation System

The server's air circulation system is comprised of one 3 inch (8 cm) fan mounted
on the inside rear of the chassis and another one mounted on the front of the
chassis, as well as the power supply itself. The air circulation system cools the
internal system by bringing fresh air in from the back and forcing the hot air out
through the front. It is important to keep the air surrounding the hard disk drives
below 122˚F (50˚C) to prevent hard disk failures.
IMPORTANT:

Fan Replacement

The two individual fans are secured by plastic housings. The fan housings
can be removed by pressing in the clip and sliding the housing upward.

System Speaker

This server has a standard speaker for error notifications and other alerts.
For computer audio capability, an audio card and external speakers are nec-
essary. The standard system speaker mounts in the chassis as shown here.
To remove the speaker, press the metal clip (or pry from front) with a screw-
driver and lift the speaker upward.
