6-3 System

Fans

The 6014L-M uses two 4-cm fans to provide cooling. These fans can adjust their

speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more ef-

fi cient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see

Chapter 7). Each fan has its own separate tachometer.

It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airfl ow to

circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

6-2 Control

Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the

JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system control buttons and

status indicators. These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to

simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the

Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin

1 on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path. The LEDs

inform you of system status. See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control

panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.
