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:

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.

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.

The chassis panels must be installed for proper air flow.
