The Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5650 is engineered to provide sufficient cooling for all internal
components of the server. The cooling subsystem is dependent upon proper airflow. The
designated cooling vents on both the front and back of the chassis must be left open and must
not be blocked by improperly installed devices. All internal cables must be routed in a manner
that does not impede airflow, and ducting provided for CPU cooling must be installed.
Active heatsinks for CPUs incorporate a fan to provide cooling. This thermal solution is included
with some boxed Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors. The Intel
®
Server Chassis SC5650 is engineered to
work with processors that have an active heatsink solution. Proper installation of the processor
cooling solution is required for circulating air toward the rear of the chassis (toward I/O
connectors).
