• If devices which require cooling via sideways air throughput (e.g. switches,
router, etc.) are built into the server enclosure, cut-outs must be incorporated
into the foam strips.
• To do this, cut out a piece of the foam strip with a sharp knife.
• If several devices which require sideways air throughput are included, cut
out several pieces of the foam strip, as is appropriate, so that, ultimately,
there is a cut-out in the foam to the left or right in the height of each such
device in the server rack. Ensure that there are no gaps on the warm air side
of the device (Fig. 20, item 3).
• Cut additional pieces from the foam strips with a sharp knife that are at least
as long as the height of the built-in devices.
• Attach the foam strips to the cold air side of the devices facing backward
(Fig. 20, item 4). Ensure that you attach the strips such that all fans built into
the devices can draw air and that none of them are blocked.

Note:
The foam strips can be attached between the front and rear supports of the
server rack along the entire depth of the devices with air throughput at the
sides (Fig. 20, item 5).
