If the server enclosure contains devices which require
cooling via sideways air throughput (e.g. switches, rout-
er, etc.), cut-outs must be incorporated into the foam
strips.
 To do this, cut out a piece of the foam strip using a
sharp knife.
 If several devices which require sideways air through-
put are included, cut out several pieces of the foam
strip, as is appropriate, so that, ultimately, there is a
cut-out in the foam to the left or right at the height of
each such device in the server rack. Ensure that there
are no gaps on the hot air side of the devices (fig. 15,
item 4).
 Using a sharp knife, cut additional pieces from the
foam strip that are at least as long as the height of the
built-in devices.
 Attach the foam strips to the cold air side of the devic-
es set back towards the rear (fig. 15, item 4), making
sure that all fans built into the devices can draw air and
that none of them are blocked.

firmly onto the side panel holders and the side panel
mounting brackets.

corresponding brush strips or similar.

server enclosure either 600 mm or 800 mm
