Rack Pressure Management
The fans will operate to maintain the “air off” temperature as long as the pressure remains within the normal operating
range. However, if the pressure within the server space changes beyond the high or low differential set-points, the fans
prioritise pressure control to bring the server pressure back within limits, at which point normal temperature control
resumes.
The diagram shows the normal operating area between the dotted lines (B) of the low and high set-point differentials.
The red zones (A and C) indicate areas where the fans prioritise pressure control to bring it back within limits.
