Ventilation and Cooling Requirements
•
Allow a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) at the front of the server, and
914 mm (36 inches) at the rear of the server for ventilation.
Use perforated tiles, approximately 400 CFM/tile, in front of the rack for cold air
intake. The tiles can be arranged in any order in front of the rack, as long as cold air
from the tiles can flow into the rack. Inadequate cold air flow could result in a higher
inlet temperature in the servers due to exhaust air recirculation. The following is the
recommended number of floor tiles:
•
Four floor tiles for Exalogic machine full rack.
•
Three floor tiles for Exalogic machine half rack.
•
One floor tile for Exalogic machine quarter rack and for Exalogic machine eighth
rack.
