The direction of airflow is front to back for the main and expansion racks.
Caution - Do not restrict the movement of cool air from the air conditioner to the cabinet, or the
movement of hot air out of the rear of the cabinet.
Observe these additional requirements:
■
Allow a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) at the front of the rack, and 914 mm (36
inches) at the rear of the rack for ventilation. There is no airflow requirement for the left and
right sides, or the top of the rack.
■
If the rack is not completely filled with components, cover the empty sections with filler
panels.
