Cooling Sub-System Intel® Server Chassis H2000 Family TPS 4. Cooling Sub-System The chassis cooling system contains the fan cooling sub-system of each node tray and common fan cooling in the power supply units. Both node fans and PSU fans work together as thermal solution to the chassis. For each node, several components and configuration requirements make up the cooling subsystem. These include processors, chipsets, VR heatsinks, system fan module, CPU air duct, and drive bay population. All are necessary to provide and regulate the air flow and air pressure needed to maintain the system's thermals when operating at or below the maximum specified thermal limits. In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, you must properly install the air duct, HDD dummy carrier, PSU dummy filler and the top cover. Each node uses a variable fan speed control engine to provide adequate cooling for the node and whole system at various ambient temperature conditions, under various server workloads, and with the least amount of acoustic noise possible. The fans operate at the lowest speed for any given condition to minimize acoustics. Note: The server system does not support redundant cooling fans. If any of the node fans fail, you must power down the respective node as soon as possible to replace the fan. 4.1 Power Supply Fan Each power supply module supports one non-redundant dual rotor 40 mm fan. The fans control the cooling of the power supply and some drive bays. These fans are not replaceable. Therefore, if a power supply fan fails, you must replace the power supply module. 4.2 Drive Bay Population Requirement In order to maintain system thermal requirements, you must fully populate all hard drive bays. Hard drive trays used for hot-swap drives must either have a hard drive installed or not have a hard drive installed. If only one power supply unit is used, a PSU dummy filler must be used to match the airflow requirement. IMPORTANT: If the drive bay is missing or not fully populated, the system will not meet the thermal cooling requirements of the processor, which will most likely result in degraded performance as a result of throttling or thermal shutdown of the system. It is recommended to keep/apply the dummy plastic blocker(as shipped with HDD carrier) on any blank HDD carrier. 28 Revision 1.0 Intel order number: G59059-001

Cooling Sub-System
The chassis cooling system contains the fan cooling sub-system of each node tray and common
fan cooling in the power supply units. Both node fans and PSU fans work together as thermal
solution to the chassis.
For each node, several components and configuration requirements make up the cooling sub-
system. These include processors, chipsets, VR heatsinks, system fan module, CPU air duct,
and drive bay population. All are necessary to provide and regulate the air flow and air pressure
needed to maintain th
e system’s thermals when operating at or below
the maximum specified
thermal limits.
In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, you must properly install the air
duct, HDD dummy carrier, PSU dummy filler and the top cover.
Each node uses a variable fan speed control engine to provide adequate cooling for the node
and whole system at various ambient temperature conditions, under various server workloads,
and with the least amount of acoustic noise possible. The fans operate at the lowest speed for
any given condition to minimize acoustics.
Note:
The server system does not support redundant cooling fans. If any of the node fans fail,
you must power down the respective node as soon as possible to replace the fan.
4.1
Power Supply Fan
Each power supply module supports one non-redundant dual rotor 40 mm fan. The fans control
the cooling of the power supply and some drive bays. These fans are not replaceable.
Therefore, if a power supply fan fails, you must replace the power supply module.
4.2
Drive Bay Population Requirement
In order to maintain system thermal requirements, you must fully populate all hard drive bays.
Hard drive trays used for hot-swap drives must either have a hard drive installed or not have a
hard drive installed.
If only one power supply unit is used, a PSU dummy filler must be used to match the
airflow requirement.
IMPORTANT:
If the drive bay is missing or not fully populated, the system will not meet the
thermal cooling requirements of the processor, which will most likely result in degraded
performance as a result of throttling or thermal shutdown of the system. It is recommended to
keep/apply the dummy plastic blocker(as shipped with HDD carrier) on any blank HDD carrier.
