Blade Server

The Blade Server utilizes a right-side front to left side back cooling scheme. Six fans integrated on a vertical tray cool the system. Refer to Appendix A for System Specifications. Air enters the vent along the right front and side surface of the chassis and passes through the front and rear card cage, then travels out through the left rear and side surface.

Power Supply

Each power supply contains cooling fans. Cool air flows through each power supply from front to back. Because they are separated by the solid bottom of the card cage, power supply air and blade server air do not mix.
