Intel SC5400LX User Manual

 

Two cooling solutions are employed in the Intel® Server Chassis SC5400. The base solution 
consists of two fixed fans (92mm and 120mm) to provide sufficient system cooling. The second 
redundant solution is designed for maximum up time by providing four replaceable hot-swap 
fans (92mm and 120mm). The fans can maintain proper system cooling, even with a single 
failed fan. Air ducts are used in both configurations and an active memory heat sink solution for 
the server board memory may be required for several of the system configurations.  

Processors with passive heat sinks should be used unless otherwise indicated in the server 
board manuals. The ducting shown (see the figure below) is designed to work with the passive 
heat sink. 

Air flows through the system from front to back. The heat sink solution used for the Intel® 
Server Chassis SC5400 is provided with the Intel® Xeon® processors.
