Page 57: Optimum Environment
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks. HP servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
