Balanced Airflow Illustration
The illustration below shows the 14G Generation Server layout (left image) with PSUs located on one side of
the chassis. In this layout it is evident that system airflow and PSU cooling are not optimized. In the 15
th
Generation layout on the right, the dual power are split, one on each side of the chassis. The split PSU
layout helps to balance the system airflow, reduce PSU operating temperatures, and allows for PCIe Gen4
card support and thus an overall more optimal system design layout.
In Conclusion
PowerEdge servers continue to deliver best-in-class features. The new PowerEdge servers have the PSUs
on both rear sides of the server, improving chassis airflow, overall thermal efficiency and allows for Gen4
PCIe card support.
