Chassis Enclosure & Ventilation Requirements
Enclosure Ventilation | If your enclosure has doors, they need to be of a type that allows at least 30% airflow |
through |
|
| the enclosure (front and back). |
Enclosure Minimum Clearance Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the airflow
required for proper ventilation.
Recommended Enclosure | Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow. This restricts the |
airflow |
|
| and impacts your computer’s performance, possibly causing it to overheat. |
Open Desk Minimum Clearance If your computer is installed in a corner, on a desk, or under a desk, leave at least 5.1 cm (2 in.)
clearance from the back of the computer to the wall to permit the airflow required for proper
ventilation.
