SC113 Chassis Manual

5-14

Four heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air

through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis' internal temperature.

The SC113 chassis contains counter-rotating fans. Each fan unit is actually made up

of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-ro-

tating action generates exceptional airow and works to dampen vibration levels.

The SC113 chassis provides two additional open fan housings, where additional

system fans may be added for optimal cooling.

Adding a System Fan

1. Power down the system as described in Section 5-2.

2. Remove the screws securing the fan tray to the chassis.

3. Remove the dummy fan from the fan tray by pushing it up from the bottom.

4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the

arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direc-

tion as the arrows on the other fans.

5. Secure the fan tray to the chassis using the screws removed previously.

6. Connect the fan wires to the fan headers on the serverboard.

7. Power-up the system and check that the fan is working properly before re-

placing the chassis cover.
