Server Component Installations and Upgrades—NSC2U Server

Ventilation — The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the

server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust

a maximum of 1200 BTU per hour for a fully loaded server system using the IP Network

Server NSC2U.

It is important to note that this measurement is the maximum, and a minimum or

typical system could use much less. You may want to calculate the BTU/hour

measurement more accurately for your configuration. An extra 500 BTU/hour over

many systems would translate into a large error calculating air conditioning capacity.
