Other Cooling Considerations - Avaya 9012FC IO Manual

To optimize airflow, stagger each chassis in racks and add a baffle that redirects hot air discharged
by a chassis from the side to the hot aisle at the back.
Note:
Before setting up your data center plan airflow of cool air into each chassis.

Considerations
If you do not have raised floors for cooling you need to ensure air is injected into
the cool intake at the left side. You can add extra stand alone fans to ensure air
enters the chassis.
Consider hot airflow from other pieces of equipment in the vicinity of the Virtual
Services Platform 9012. Computers, Telecommunications, and other equipment
located above and below the Virtual Services Platform 9012 can discharge hot
air onto the chassis.
