QuestionQ106

Install the solution

An HPE Aruba Networking CX 8325 Switch is mounted and powered on in a rack containing several server and storage arrays. The front of the racks is in a cold-aisle containment row, but the network administrator detects hot air flowing through the switch ports at the front of the rack. At the rear, the administrator sees power supplies and fans with a blue release latch.

Is the switch mounted correctly?

Yes or No
StatementsYesNo
Is the switch mounted properly?
Explanation

A port-side cold aisle requires port-side intake and rear exhaust. Hot air at the ports indicates reverse airflow, which is incompatible with that rack orientation. The blue-latch power supplies and fan modules are the opposite airflow-direction variant for this installation.
