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.
Cohesity provides the following requirements to ensure sufficient cooling.
Cohesity requires that you install the system in a National Engineering Manufacturer's Association (NEMA)-certified or equivalent rack.
