4. System Cooling
Two cooling solutions are used in the Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5600 series. The base solution
consists of three fixed fans (one 92-mm and two 120-mm) to provide sufficient system cooling.
The second redundant solution is designed for maximum up time by providing four replaceable
hot-swap fans (two 92-mm and two 120-mm). The fans can maintain proper system cooling,
even with a single failed fan. Air ducts are used in both configurations and an active memory
heat sink solution for the server board memory may be required for several of the system
configurations.
4.1 Processor Heat Sink Cooling
4.1.1 Activate Heat Sink Cooling
Unless otherwise indicated in the server board manuals, you should use processors with active
heat sinks in the Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5600BASE and SC5600BRPs. The ducting shown
(Figure 14) is designed to work with the active heat sink. Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5600BASE
and SC5600BRP do not include processor heat sinks.
