40–60% relative humidity.
The minimum amount of clearance space for the system front is 150 cm (59 in)
and rear is 100 cm (39.4 in), as shown in Figure 2-2. These clearances are
needed for airflow and maintenance.
Air for the system cabinet to cool the card cage is brought in from the top and
blown out at the back of the cabinet. Air to cool the options is brought in from
the front of the cabinet and blown out the back. Air to cool the expander cabinet
is brought in from the front and blown out the back.
NOTE: Do not place anything on top of the cabinets, since this restricts airflow.
Inadequate airflow can cause the system to shut down.
