Airflow; Installing Fabric Interconnects - Cisco RP Series Installation Manual

Integrating UCS Components in the Dynamic Rack

Airflow

Remove airflow obstructions from the intake and exhaust openings of the equipment mounted in the chassis.
Lack of sufficient airflow may cause increased equipment fan power consumption to compensate for increased
airflow impedance.

Installing Fabric Interconnects

Install the fabric interconnects in the topmost RUs of the rack. Having the fabric interconnects in this position
ensures that you can subsequently add a UCS rack server or UCS 5108 Server Chassis between the highest
positioned chassis and the lowest positioned fabric interconnect.
