26. 3 System Fans Four 9 cm hot swap system cooling fans are located side by side between the motherboard bay and the front chassis section There are also two 9 cm exhaust fans which are located at the back of the chassis to pull the cool intake air through the system and force hot air out System Fan Failure Under normal operation all six system fans run at 80 of their maximum speed which supplies sufficient airflow while prolonging fan life If any fan fails the rest will automatically increase their RPM to a full 100 to compensate An audible alarm and an LED on the front control panel will notify you of any fan failure You can disable the alarm with the alarm button on the control panel The system cooling fans are hot swap components which allows you to replace them without powering down the system Identifying the failed fan To determine which fan has failed first remove the chassis top cover You can then check the fan fail LEDs on the control panel s printed circuit board PCB which can be viewed through a cutout on its protective metal cover See the designation written by the red illuminated LED on the PCB to determine which fan has failed Figure 6 2 After determining whether it is a cooling or an exhaust fan and the fan number position you should then refer to the following two sections for replacement Chapter 6 Advanced Chassis Setup Replacing System Cooling Fans 1 Removing a system cooling fan Wit
