Cabinet Airflow - Compaq AlphaServer GS60E Service Manual

The cooling system is designed to keep the system components at an optimal
operating temperature. It is important to keep the front and rear doors free of
obstructions, leaving a minimum clearance space of 1.5 meters (59 inches) in
the front and 1 meter in the rear to maximize airflow.
Two blowers, located in the center of the cabinet (see Figure 2-8) draw air
downward through the TLSB card cage. Air is exhausted at the middle of the
cabinet, to the rear (see Figure 2-9). The blower speed varies based on the
system's ambient temperature.
CAUTION: Anything placed on the top of the cabinet could restrict airflow.
This will cause the system to power down.
