2.1.4 Front Vents The enclosure that houses the xStack Storage Array contains hot-swappable fans located in the mid-section of the chassis drawing air into vents in the front of the unit, cooling the hard drive array and other components. This air exits the chassis through a grill located at the rear of the chassis. It is advised that the unit only be operated with the top cover in place. When installing the xStack Storage Array, please be sure these vents are not blocked. A fully loaded array with all drive bays filled can generate a significant amount of heat. Please be sure the cover is in place to provide the forced air flow required for proper cooling. 2.2 Back Panel Components The following sections describe the hardware components on the rear of the xStack Storage Array's enclosure.
