Thermal dissipation
Altos R300 has the following cooling systems:
• Three 4-cm CPU fans
• One rear chassis fan
A fully configured Altos R300 server under maximum workload can
produce approximately 900 BTU/hr. Air temperature measurements
around the system may vary as much as 25°C (45°F) from front to back.
Deployment of multiple ultra-dense servers will produce a significant
amount of heat. For example, 42 server under maximum workload can
generate as much as 37,820 BTU/hr.
