1.4.3 Normalized Airflow
Proper subsystem cooling is referred to as “normalized” airflow. Normalized airflow
ensures the sufficient cooling of the subsystem and is only attained when all
components are properly installed. Therefore, a failed component should only be hot-
swapped when a replacement is available. If a failed component is removed but not
replaced, permanent damage to the subsystem can result.
