Rack Airflow
Requirements
Rack 10000 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for
rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these
racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and
to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors:
If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow
830 square inches (5,350 sq cm) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate
airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side:
The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a
minimum of 2.75 inches (7 cm).
CAUTION:
Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement
ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
NOTE:
For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation CD provided with the
server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the following URL:
