The Intel
®
Entry Server Chassis SC5299-E is engineered to provide sufficient cooling for all
internal components of the server. The cooling subsystem is dependent upon proper airflow.
The designated cooling vents on both the front and back of the chassis must be left open and
must not be blocked by improperly installed devices. All internal cables must be routed in a
manner that does not impede airflow, and ducting provided for CPU cooling must be installed.
