Airflow Considerations

The Sun Fire V210 and V240 servers self-cool when operated in still air.
Ensure unobstructed airflow through the chassis.
The Sun Fire V210 server uses internal fans that can achieve a total airflow of
30cfm in normal operating conditions.
The Sun Fire V240 server uses internal fans that can achieve a total airflow of
60cfm in normal operating conditions.
Inlet air enters at the front of the server and exits from the back.
Ventilation openings for both the inlet and exhaust of the system should provide:
Sun Fire V210 server: a minimum open area of 85 cm
Sun Fire V240 server: a minimum open area of 170 cm
Allow a minimum of 88.9mm (3.5inches) clearance at the front and rear of the
server when mounted, unless an unobstructed airflow can be ensured.
