lists the service and airflow
requirements).
•
Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in
•
Ensure that the switch is going to be positioned so that it takes in air from a cold aisle and exhausts
air to the hot aisle. If there is a black stripe across the front of these modules, they have forward
airflow and must be positioned with the fan tray and power supplies in a cold aisle. If there is a black
stripe across the front of these modules, they have reverse airflow and must be positioned with the
port connections in a cold aisle.
