2.9 Cooling
The product contains a fan array consisting of two 80 x 38mm fans and two 40 x 28mm fans to cool the
Server Board and other components. Air flows in through the front bezel over the peripheral bay and the
hard drive bays, passes through the fans and over the baseboard, and exhausts through the rear of the
chassis. The power supplies have their own cooling ventilation. A fan failure is indicated by one of the alarm
LED's located on the front panel. See also the Caution relating to ventilation on page 12.
