Rack Airflow
Requirements
Rack 10000 G2 series Cabinets
The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling
efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 G2 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for
maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.
CAUTION:
If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure
adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:
Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must
allow 5,350 sq cm (830 square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit
adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).
Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must
be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 inches)
CAUTION:
Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the
rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in
improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
NOTE:
For additional information, refer to the Setup and Installation Guide or the Documentation
CD provided with the server, or to the server documentation located in the Support section at the
following URL:
