6-3 System Fans
Six 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the A+ Server 1012G-MTF.
The chassis includes air seals under the fans and at the chassis cross section, which
separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis to promote
better airow. 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 efcient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled
by a setting in BIOS.
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
Removing the Front Bezel
If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must rst
remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, rst unlock the
front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully remove
the bezel with both hands. A lter located within the bezel can be removed for
replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of
lter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airow throughout the
whole system.
