QX-S5548GT-4X2Q
The QX-S5524GT-4X2Q and QX-S5548GT-4X2Q use fixed fan trays and left-to-right aisles
for air ventilation. Ambient air flows in through the air vents in the left side panel, circulates
through the chassis and the power modules, and exhausts through the air vents in the right
side panel and air vents of the power module fan trays, as shown in Figure 11-3.
