The airflow of the switch is non-port (back) to port (front) side. Air is drawn into the system from the fan
tray in the back and expelled out vents on the front of the device. The cooling characteristics of the
system allow it to be deployed in server racks featuring hot-cold aisle containment without the need of
special baffling.
