The middle area of the CX600-X16 is for SFU slots. The air intake vent of this area is located
on the left of the chassis. Two upper SFU slots in the area draw in air from the left. When flowing
to the right, the air joins the air from the upper chassis. Two lower SFU slots in the area also
draw in air from the left. When flowing to the right, the air joins the air from the lower chassis.

3.3.2 Air Intake Vent
This section describes the air intake vents.
The CX600-X16 has three air channels.
The upper and lower chassis have separate air channels that draw air from the front and exhausts
air from the rear. The air filters are installed over the air intake vents. Each filter has a curved
face, large area, and small windage resistance. These features help to improve heat dissipation
efficiency. Air filters on the upper and lower chassis are identical.
The air channel in the SFU slot area is located on the left of the chassis. The air filter uses front
access. The depth of the air filter is the same as that of an SFU and the height of the air filter is
four times the height of the SFU.
