IBM TS4500 User Manual

Air Flow
The TS4500 Tape Library draws cool air in through the perforated holes in the
front door and bottom front of the frame. Hot air vents through perforated holes in
the back door and top back of the frame. The Sx5 frames do not have any
perforated holes in the back door. However, the cool air inlet in the front and hot
air outlet in the top back of the frame are the same as the other frames.
Refer to “Air Flow - Front Isometric” and “Air Flow - Rear Isometric view” on
page 89. Cold air ▌1▐ enters the library from the front and hot air ▌2▐ exits out the
back.
