Cooling Sub-System Intel

Server System H2000WP Family TPS

4. Cooling Sub-System

The chassis cooling system contains the fan cooling sub-system of each node and common fan

cooling in the power supply units. Both node fans and PSU fans work together as thermal

solution to the chassis.

For each node, several components and configuration requirements make up the cooling sub-

system. These include processor heatsinks, chipset heatsinks, VR heatsinks, system fan

module, CPU air duct, and drive bay population. All are necessary to provide and regulate the

air flow and air pressure needed to maintain the system’s thermals when operating at or below

the maximum specified thermal limits.

In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, you must properly install the air

duct, HDD dummy carrier, PSU dummy filler, and the top cover.

Each node uses a variable fan speed control engine to provide adequate cooling for the node

and whole system at various ambient temperature conditions, under various server workloads,

and with the least amount of acoustic noise possible. The fans operate at the lowest speed for

any given condition to minimize acoustics.

Note:

The server system does not support redundant cooling fans. If any of the node fans fail,

you must power down the respective node as soon as possible to replace the fan.

4.1 Processor Heatsink

Both processor heatsinks are included in the system package. Each heatsink is designed for

optimal cooling and performance in the H2600WP system. To achieve better cooling

performance, you must properly attach the heatsink bottom base with TIM (thermal interface

material). ShinEtsu* G-751 or ShinEtsu* 7783D or Honeywell* PCM45F TIM is recommended.

The mechanical performance of the heatsink must satisfy mechanical requirement of Intel

Xeon

E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 series processors. To keep chipsets and VR temperature at or

below maximum temperature limit, the heatsink is required even if no processor is installed.

Note: The processor heatsink for CPU1 and CPU2 are different. FXXCA84X106HS (Cu base-Al

fin Heatsink) is for CPU1, while FXXEA84X106HS (Al-extruded Heatsink) is for CPU2.

Mis-locating the heatsink will cause serious thermal damage!
