Thermal Management Overview
Managing airflow within the system is critical to having it operate with best performance and for maintaining
long term reliability. The system pulls cool air (10–35°C) in from the front, channels it over and through
several high heat generating components and areas within the chassis, and then pushes the hot air out the
back.
