When installed in a 1U ultra-dense server deployment, airflow is sufficient to cool
ProLiant DL320 and ProLiant DL360 servers if the following criteria are met:
• Ambient air temperature at the front of the unit does not exceed 35°C (95°F).
• Relative humidity does not exceed 90 percent while operating.
• Unrestricted airspace of at least three inches exists in front of the server.
• Unrestricted airspace of at least three inches exists at the rear of the server.
Note: Cabling must not restrict airflow. The Compaq Third-Party 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.
