Figure B-3 Non-ideal Open Rack Configuration
Non-ideal flows should be avoided or mitigated and confirmed through thermal testing.
Figure B-4 below shows a non-ideal open rack configuration containing sub-systems with mixed
flow directions (white arrows). This configuration shows mitigation of potential hot air
recirculation by leaving a gap in the rack population.
