Note: Install the device with the airflow aligned with any other devices in the rack. Some devices have airflow running from port side to fan side and others have the opposite arrangement. Make sure that the airflow for all devices moves in the same direction to maximize cooling. Refer to the Hardware Installation Guide for your product for specific requirements.
