Dell OptiPlex 580 - Recommended Enclosure and Clearance

OptiPlex580TechnicalGuidebook Page42
Recommended Enclosure Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow. This restricts the airflow
and impacts your computer’s performance, possibly causing it to overheat.
Open Desk Minimum Clearance If your computer is installed in a corner, on a desk, or under a desk, leave at least 5.1 cm (2 in.)
clearance from the back of the computer to the wall to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
