The system fan module and power supply fans provide the necessary cooling needed for the system. Using a processor fan in this chassis may cause Intel® System Management Software to incorrectly monitor the system fans. • The CPU air duct and air baffle must be used to maintain system thermals. • The air dam on the CPU air duct must be in place for single processor configurations. Once the air dam is removed, it cannot be re-installed. • To maintain system thermals, all hard drive bays must be populated with either a hard drive or drive blank. • System fans are not hot-swappable • Use of the screw found on the front edge of the top cover is required when the unit is installed in a user accessible environment. • A USB Floppy support kit is available for installing a slimline USB floppy drive in either the slimline bay or in the first 3.5" hard drive bay. This kit has the following product order code: • The FRUSDR utility must be run to load the proper Sensor Data Records for the server chassis onto the server board. • Make sure the latest system software is loaded on the server.
