Airflow

is

front

to

rear

with

cooling

air

being

drawn

across

the

drives,

through

the

fans

and

pressurizing

the

rear

of

the

enclosure.

The

pressurized

rear

allows

the

PSU

to

draw

the

air

that

it

requires;

perforations

at

the

rear

of

the

chassis

allow

cooling

air

to

flow

over

the

processor

heatsinks,

server

board

and

PCI

cards.

The

cooling

system

must

be

operated

with

low-pressure

rear

exhaust

installation

(back

pressure

created

by

rack

doors

and

obstacles

not

to

exceed

5

pascals

[0.5mm

Water

gauge]).

The

cooling

system

provides

sufficient

capacity

to

ensure

that

drive

maximum

temperatures

have

not

exceeded

at

35°C

(95°F)

with

one

failing

fan

at

sea

level.

The

cooling

cage

contains

ten

individual

high-speed

single-rotor

axial

fans,

individually

connected

to

and

interfacing

with

the

enclosure

management

PCB.

This

interface

provides

power

and

speed

control

to

the

fans

and

returns

speed

information

from

each

fan

to

the

management

system.

Drive

carrier

module

The

drive

carrier

module

consists

of

a

hard

disk

mounted

in

a

drive

carrier.

Each

drive

bay

can

house

a

single

low-profile

2.54-cm

(1.0-inch)

high,

8.89-cm

(3.5-inch)

form

factor

SATA

disk

drive

in

its

drive

carrier.

The

drive

carrier

has

mounting

locations

for

SATA

drives.

Each

disk

drive

is

enclosed

in

a

sheet

steel

carrier

which

provides

excellent

thermal

conduction,

radio

frequency

and

electro-magnetic

induction

protection,

as

well

as

affords

the

drive

with

maximum

physical

protection.

The

front

cap

of

the

drive

carrier

supports

an

ergonomic

handle,

which

provides

the

following

functions:

v

Camming

of

drive

carrier

into

and

out

of

drive

bays.

v

Positive

"spring
