Airflow Considerations Airflow through the Cisco Nexus 5000 switch is from front to back. Air enters the chassis through the fan trays and power supplies mounted at the front of the chassis and exits the chassis through perforations on the rear of the chassis. To ensure proper airflow, follow these guidelines: • Maintain ambient airflow throughout the data center to ensure normal operation. • Consider the heat dissipation of all equipment when determining air-conditioning requirements. When evaluating airflow requirements, take into consideration that hot air generated by equipment at the bottom of the rack can be drawn in the intake ports of the equipment above.
