Airflow Direction
The airflow through the fan trays and power supplies on the Cisco NCS 5000 series router is either from the
port side exhaust or the port side intake, depending on how the modules were ordered. To ensure proper
airflow, you must make sure that when you install the switch its air intake is positioned in a cold aisle and the
air exhaust is positioned in a hot aisle for your data center.
