Rack Airflow Requirements Rack 10000 series Cabinets

The increasing power of new high-performance processor technology requires increased cooling efficiency for rack-mounted servers. The 10000 Series Racks provide enhanced airflow for maximum cooling, allowing these racks to be fully loaded with servers using the latest processors.

CAUTION: If a third-party rack is used, observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment

	Front and rear doors: If your 42U server rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830
	square inches) of hole evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required
	64 percent open area for ventilation).
	Side: The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7
	cm (2.75 inches)
	CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill all remaining empty front panel U-spaces in the rack. This arrangement
	ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
	NOTE: Please consult the Setup & Installation Guide for the server for additional details.
