Air Deflector
An air deflector is a sheet-metal part that is mounted on the NCS 2002 shelf to orient the air flow in a specific
direction.
The air deflectors can be mounted in different positions to control the air flow:
• Front to Front— Only ETSI rack
• Front to Back— For ANSI and ETSI racks
• Front to Top— Only ETSI rack
In an ANSI rack, the air deflectors are mounted only on the 23-inch rack configuration.
