Airflow Precautions (Storage Array)
 | Caution - Proper airflow is essential for keeping the storage array's internal temperatures within a safe operating range. |
Air flows from the front to the rear of the storage array.
Follow these guidelines to ensure unrestricted airflow in the storage array:
-
Adhere to the minimum airflow clearance specifications. See Physical Specifications (Storage Array).
-
Install the storage array so the front faces the cool aisle and the rear faces the warm aisle.
-
Do not direct warm air into the storage array.
-
Prevent recirculation of air within a rack or cabinet.
-
When servicing storage array internal components, ensure that air ducts, baffles, and filler panels are properly installed.
-
Route cables so they do not interfere with airflow.
