Intel® Server System R1000WT Product Family TPS All externally accessed drive bays must be populated. Drive carriers can be populated with a storage device (SSD or HDD) or supplied drive blank With the system operating, the air duct must be installed at all times In single power supply configurations, the 2nd power supply bay must have the supplied filler blank installed at all times The system must be configured with dual power supplies for the system to support system fan redundancy Fan redundancy is lost if more than one system fan rotor is in a failed state System fan redundancy is not supported with systems operating at ASHRAE A3 or A4 thermal limits The system top cover must be installed at all times when the system is in operation 4.2 Thermal Management Overview In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, all of the previously listed components and top cover need to be properly installed. For best system performance, the external ambient temperature should remain below 35°C and all system fans should be operational. The system is designed for fan redundancy when the system is configured with two power supplies, all system fans are present and operational, and ambient air remains at or below ASHRAE class 2 limits (See table 2). In fan redundancy mode, should a single system fan rotor failure occur, integrated platform management will: change the state of the System Status LED to flashing Green, report an error to the system event log, and automatically adjust remaining fan speeds as needed to maintain system temperatures below maximum thermal limits. Note: All system fans are controlled independent of each other. The fan control system may adjust fan speeds for different fans based on increasing/decreasing temperatures in different thermal zones within the chassis. In the event that system temperatures should continue to increase with the system fans operating at their maximum speed, platform management may begin to throttle bandwidth of either the memory subsystem or the processors or both, in order to keep components from overheating and keep the system operational. Throttling of these subsystems will continue until system temperatures are reduced below preprogrammed limits. The power supply will be protected against over temperature conditions caused by excessive ambient temperature. In an over-temperature protection condition, the power supply module will shut down. Should system thermals increase to a point beyond the maximum thermal limits, the system will shut down, the System Status LED will change to a solid Amber state, and the event will be logged to the system event log. Should power supply thermals increase to a point beyond their maximum thermal limits or if a power supply fan should fail, the power supply will shut down. Note: For proper system thermal management, Sensor Data Records (SDRs) for any given system configuration must be loaded by the system integrator as part of the initial system integration process. SDRs are loaded using the FRUSDR utility which is part of the System Update Package (SUP) or One-boot Firmware Update (OFU) package which can be downloaded from the following Intel website: http://downloadcenter.intel.com 34 Revision 1.0
