1This value represents the heat dissipation after 4CMU/4IOU installation.

2This value represents the heat dissipation after 8CMU/8IOU installation

3This value represents the heat dissipation after 16CMU/16IOU installation

4The heat dissipation, exhaust airflow and acoustic noise value of the Power Cabinet is included in the value for the SPARC En- terprise M8000 Server or SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server.

2.3.2Airflow and Heat Dissipation

Since the SPARC Enterprise M8000/M9000 Server is designed to be cooled by forced air convection, sufficient airflow throughout the entire system must be generated. To satisfy the requirements listed below, the installation space requirements listed in Section 1.2.2, “System Installation (Space)” on page 1-12must be observed.

Any other equipment installed around the system must not block any of the service areas, or intake and exhaust air vents.

The SPARC Enterprise M8000 Server uses internal fans to generate a total airflow of 94 cubic meters per minute (3320 cubic feet per minute [cfm]) under normal operating conditions.
