Thermal rules
This topic provides thermal rules for the server.
Server models with front drive bays only
This section provides thermal information for server models with front drive bays only.
Notes: 
•  TDP is short for Thermal Design Power.
•  For 4 x 2.5" NVMe front bay without front I/O module, the following requirements should be met:  
–  The 1U performance heat sink can only be used when:  
–  The ambient temperature is equal to or less than 25°C. 
–  Only processor 9654 or 9654P can be used.
–  Only one processor can be installed, and the processor TDP should be equal to or less than 360 
watts.
–  Rear hard disk drive or GPU is not installed. 
–  Direct Attach Cables (DAC) is supported when the bandwidth of PCIe adapter or OCP module is more 
than 100 GB.
