Airflow Requirements
The Compaq ProLiant 6000 server draws cool air in through the front door and
exhausts warm air out through the rear door. Therefore, the front door must be
adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the
rear door must be ventilated adequately to allow the warm air to escape from
the cabinet. Do not block the ventilation apertures.
CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, the following
minimum requirements should be observed to ensure adequate
airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
■
Front: The rack door should have 120 square inches of holes
evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate air
flow.
■
Side: The clearance between the installed module and the
side panels of the rack should be a minimum of 2.75 inches.
■
Rear: The clearance between the back of the rack and the
wall should be a minimum of 30 inches and the equipment
should be operating without a rear door.
CAUTION:
If all of the vertical space in the rack is not filled by
components, the gaps left will cause a change in airflow through
the rack and across the components. These gaps need to be
covered with blanking panels.
