AMD Athlon MP 2200+ Server Roundup - September 2002

The center panel is removed using two buttons that are depressed, allowing the panel to slide back and out. Underneath the panel lie the four blowers that take care of cooling the 1124; as we mentioned before, three cool the CPUs and motherboard area with one dedicated to cooling the PSU.

Replacing the blowers is fairly simple and they are the garden variety that you can find almost anywhere so getting replacements isn't much of an issue. Since the blowers just lift up and out you don't need any tools to replace them either.

The final panel is the only one that requires a screwdriver to access, which isn't such a bad thing as you'll rarely need access to it. Underneath the front-most panel are all the drivebays and the CD-ROM drive.
