Hot and Cold Aisle Containment Best Practices
USE BLANKING PANELS
- Empty cabinets and empty rack unit positions can allow hot air to migrate into the cold aisle, causing unwanted temperature issues. Using blanking panels and side panels mitigates this.
USE SIDE PANELS
- Removing side panels in cabinets, when unnecessary, can cause wrap-around issues with airflow. Hot air can get mixed into server air intake.
