Air Flow

Mellanox systems are offered with two air flow patterns:
• Connector (front) side inlet to power side outlet - marked with red power supplies/fans
FRUs' handles, as shown in Figure 4.
• Power (rear) side inlet to connector side outlet - marked with blue power supplies/fans
FRUs' handles, as shown in Figure 5.
All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the same airflow
direction.
All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in the air
flow will affect the heat dissipation.
Table 6 provides an air flow color legend and respective OPN designations.
