Thermal dissipation
The server has the following cooling systems:
• Two 9-cm CPU fan blowers
• One rear chassis fan
A fully configured Altos R500 server under maximum workload can
produce approximately 1047 BTU/hr. Air temperature measurements
around the server 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 servers under maximum workload can
generate as much as 43,974 BTU/hr.
