When installed in a 1U ultra-dense server deployment, air flow is sufficient to cool Compaq
ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant DL360 servers if the following criteria are met:
• Ambient air temperature at the front of the unit does not exceed 95°F (35°C).
• Relative humidity does not exceed 90 percent while operating.
• Unrestricted airspace of at least 3 inches is provided in front of the server.
• Unrestricted airspace of at least 3 inches is provided at the rear of the server.
Note: Cabling must not restrict airflow. The Compaq Telco Rack Option Kit includes a cable
management tray to provide appropriate clearance for airflow. Ensure airflow exiting the server’s
exhaust vents is unrestricted if not using the cable management tray.
