CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following minimum
requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the
equipment:
■
Front and rear doors: If your server rack includes closing front and rear
doors, you must allow 830 square inches of holes evenly distributed from
top to bottom to permit adequate airflow.
■
Side: The clearance between the installed module and the side panels of
the rack must be a minimum of 2.75 inches.
■
Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the wall must be a
minimum of 30 inches, and the equipment must operate without a rear
door.
CAUTION:
If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by components, the
gaps left cause a change in airflow through the rack and across the
components. These gaps need to be covered with blanking panels.
