Fans

Five hot-swappable fans are mounted in a fan gantry that is located in the chassis between the hard drive bay

and the processors. See Figure 7. Each fan has a blind mate 2x2 connector that plugs directly into the planar.

There is an additional fan integrated in each power supply to cool the power supply subsystem and also provide

additional cooling for the whole system. Single processor configurations have four fans populated.

Fan Gantry Figure 7.

The Embedded Server Management logic in the system monitors the speed of the fans. A fan failure or over-

temperature in the system results in a notification by iDRAC6. All system fans are pulse-width modulated fans.

Redundant cooling is supported.

LCD Control Panel

The LCD control panel is located on the front of the system chassis to provide user access to switches, display,

and I/O interfaces. See Figure 8. The control panel includes the following features:

• ACPI-compliant power button with an integrated green power LED (controlled by iDRAC6)

• 128x20 pixel LCD with controls:

o Two navigation buttons

o Select button
