E60781 13
2.2 Summary of Design Recommendations:
 Key Ingredients
 100x130 vent above CPU as defined in drawings section
 53% Free Area Ratio recommended minimum
 Appropriately balanced (speed/size) exhaust fan
 Distance between fan inlet and vent <50mm
 Tradeoffs of these ingredients are possible and responsibility of chassis
manufacturer
 Other components need sufficient venting on East and West sides to remain
within operating limits.
 Component operating temperatures vary greatly and must be verified by
chassis manufacturer
