@ecoevo thanks, switches can have the fans blow in either direction configurable from the manufacturer, but you get to use slightly shorter cables if they are rear facing. Just wondering if there's a preference when the heat management is concerned. At my work we have front facing switches and narrow hot isles but I'd prefer rear facing switches, both cases with the heat blowing into the hot isle
Great vid as usual, team!😊
Do the top of rack switches face the back of the rack or the front of the rack?
This is hot aisle containment. So the switches would have their backs to the containment.
