Heat dissipation
Air flows from the front of each unit and exits from the rear of each unit. You can install the optional bezel without disruption to the airflow.
For best ventilation, the rack cabinet should:
Be at least 100 cm (4 feet) from walls.
Be at least 100 cm (4 feet) from other cabinets on the front and back of the appliance and the storage shelves.
Note:
Data centers with two-foot spaces in the front and in the back of the appliances are acceptable with proper cooling and ventilation.
Veritas provides the following requirements to ensure sufficient cooling.
Veritas requires that you install the system in a National Engineering Manufacturer's Association (NEMA)-certified or equivalent rack.
A minimum of 3 inches (7.6 cm) of space must be between the front of an appliance and the cabinet door or other air block.
A minimum of 6 inches (15.2 cm) of space must be between the rear of an appliance and the cabinet rear or other air block.
A minimum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space must be between the front of a storage shelf and the cabinet door or other air block.
A minimum of 2 inches (5.0 cm) of space must be between the rear of a storage shelf and the cabinet rear or other air block.
Refer to the Veritas Appliance Product Description Guide for specifications about temperature and cooling.
