6-3 System Fans
Two 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 6014L-T. Air seals are
used at the chassis cross section, which separates the drive bay area from the
serverboard area of the chassis to promote better airfl ow. 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 effi cient 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.
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access
the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace Serial ATA
drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or fl oppy disk
drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6014L-T by removing the
top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation"
section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fi t into the 6014L-T.
