12. <strong>Intel</strong> ® Server System P4000CP Thermal Management<br />
The <strong>Intel</strong> ® Server System P4000CP is designed to operate at external ambient temperatures of<br />
between 10ºC- 35ºC. Working with integrated plat<strong>for</strong>m management, several features within the<br />
system are designed to move air in a front to back direction, through the system and over critical<br />
components in order to prevent them from overheating and allow the system to operate with<br />
best per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
12.1 Thermal Operation and Configuration Requirements<br />
To keep the system operating within supported maximum thermal limits, the system must meet<br />
the following operating and configuration guidelines:<br />
Ambient in-let temperature cannot exceed 35º C and should not remain at this maximum<br />
level <strong>for</strong> long periods of time. Doing so may affect long term reliability of the system.<br />
All hard drive bays must be populated. Hard drive carriers either can be populated with a<br />
hard drive or supplied drive blank.<br />
The air duct must be installed at all times<br />
In single power supply configurations, the 2nd power supply bay must have the supplied<br />
filler blank installed at all times.<br />
The system top-cover must be installed at all times.<br />
12.2 Thermal Management Overview<br />
In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, all of the previously listed<br />
components and top cover need to be properly installed. For best system per<strong>for</strong>mance, the<br />
external ambient temperature must remain below 35ºC and all system fans should be<br />
operational.<br />
In the event that system thermals should continue to increase with the system fans operating at<br />
their maximum speed, plat<strong>for</strong>m management may begin to throttle per<strong>for</strong>mance of either the<br />
memory subsystem or the processors or both, in order to keep components from overheating<br />
and keep the system operational. Throttling of these sub-systems will continue until system<br />
thermals are reduced.<br />
Should system thermals increase to a point beyond the maximum thermal limit as preprogrammed<br />
in plat<strong>for</strong>m management <strong>for</strong> this system, the system will shut down, the System<br />
Status LED will change to a solid Amber state, and the event will be logged to the system event<br />
log.<br />
12.3 System Fans<br />
Two cooling solutions are used in the <strong>Intel</strong> ® Server Chassis P4000M series. The base non-redundant<br />
solution consists of two 120 x 38mm fixed fans to provide sufficient system cooling. The second<br />
redundant solution is designed <strong>for</strong> maximum up time by providing five 80 x 38 mm replaceable hotswap<br />
fans. The fans can maintain proper system cooling, even with a single failed fan. Air ducts are<br />
used in both configurations.<br />
12.3.1 Non-Redundant Cooling Solution<br />
Non-Redundnat cooling solution is used in the <strong>Intel</strong> ® Server Chassis P4308XXMHEN.<br />
