Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not overly congested because
each unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling
air.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or
the exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is
seated all the way into the rack.
In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, excessive heat generated by equipment near
the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward and into the intake ports of the equipment above it in
the rack. Ensure that you provide adequate ventilation for equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Baffles can help to isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through
the chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can
be found by experimenting with different arrangements.
