Front Panel Components - Sun Oracle SPARC T3-1 Installation Manual

Allow a minimum of 5 mm (0.2 in) clearance from the ventilation opening at the
■
front of the system and 80 mm (3.1 in) 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 – 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 and should be evaluated by the user.
Take care to prevent recirculation of exhaust air within a rack or cabinet.
■
Manage cables to minimize interfering with the server exhaust vent.
