I've had really good luck with a very large hole underneath the cabinet and a several hundred CFM fan at the top. Telehouse has good underfloor pressure so the larger the hole the better for the cabinet. I haven't had good luck putting vented tiles behind - most of our equipment vents front to rear inside the cabinets. My routers are very happy with the large holes though: card inlet hotpoint exhaust RSP(2) 18C/64F 23C/73F 21C/69F Although after seeing the rats nest of wires in some of the cabinets I've seen over the years it's no wonder there are hotspots - nowhere for the air to go. ;) -Geoff At 08:10 PM 10/6/98 -0400, TTSG wrote:
Also make sure that there is a "vented tile" inback of your cabinets. Not every one I see there does. Just put in a work order to the CAC and they'll put them behind your cabinet. This should help with the air flow around the cabinet so the air pumped out has somewhere to go (Or help blow into the back vents)
