Airflow Precautions
Caution - Proper airflow is essential for keeping the server's internal temperatures within a safe
operating range.
Air flows from the front to the rear of the server.
Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the server:
■
Adhere to the minimum airflow clearance specifications. See “Physical
Specifications” on page 19.
■
Install the server so the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.
■
Do not direct warm air into the server.
■
Prevent recirculation of air within a rack or cabinet.
■
When servicing server internal components, ensure that air ducts, baffles, and filler panels
are properly installed.
■
Route cables so they do not interfere with airflow.
