The server draws cool air from the front of the server and expels hot air out the rear.
Prevent overheating the server by following these guidelines:
Ensure that inlet air enters at the front of the server and exits from the back.
■
Ensure unobstructed airflow through the server.
■
Do not direct warm air toward the front air intake of the server.
■
Prevent recirculation of exhaust air within a rack or cabinet.
■
Manage cables to minimize interfering with the server exhaust vent.
■
Ensure that the server ventilation openings used for intake and outflow of air
■
provide an open area that is at least 60% of the open area perforations across the
front and rear of the server.
Allow a minimum of 0.2 in. (5 mm) clearance at the front of the system and 3.1 in.
■
(80 mm) at the rear of the server when mounted. These clearance values are based
on the preceding inlet and exhaust impedance (available open area) and assume a
uniform distribution of the open area across the inlet and exhaust areas. Clearance
values greater than these are recommended for improved cooling performance.
Note – Be mindful that the combination of inlet and exhaust restrictions, such as
cabinet doors and the spacing of the server from the doors, can affect the cooling
performance of the server.
