CMIOU Chassis Cooling Zones
The CMIOU chassis has two cooling zones. In one cooling zone, eight fan modules push air
through the CMIOUs from the front of the server and exhaust it at the rear of the server. In the
other cooling zone, six fan modules push air through the power supplies and exhaust it through
the chimney to the SPs and directly out the rear of the chassis.
