Server Cooling Fan
The Supermicro FAN-0141L4 is a 40 mm counter-rotating cooling fan designed for compatible Supermicro chassis. It targets system builders and administrators who need high-speed airflow for dense 1U or 2U server environments. The unit operates at two distinct speeds of 20.5K and 17.6K RPM to meet demanding thermal requirements. This accessory fits specific SC118G, SC818G and SC118GQ chassis models.
Installation Notes
The fan measures 40x40x56 mm with a height of 2.20 inches and width of 1.57 inches, matching the mounting pattern of supported chassis. Installation typically involves sliding the module into the designated fan bay until it locks into the onboard connector. Counter-rotating blades increase static pressure but also raise acoustic output at full speed. Verify the chassis fan header pin-out matches the fan cable before applying power.
Compatibility Check
Confirm your chassis model is listed as SC118G, SC818G or SC118GQ before ordering. The fan depth of 56 mm and 1.57 inch width must align with the available bay clearance in your specific enclosure. Ensure the system fan controller supports the 20500 RPM maximum speed rating for proper monitoring. This accessory is not suitable for chassis outside the stated compatibility list or for general-purpose desktop cases.
