Airflow in the Virtual Services Platform 9010
Cool air enters the Virtual Services Platform 9010 through an air inlet vent below the cooling
modules. The fans in the cooling modules draw the cool air in, and push it up and over the CP, I/O,
and SF modules. The hot air exhaust is at the rear of the chassis.
The power supplies include their own fans for cooling. The power supplies draw cool air in at the
front of the chassis, and hot air exits at the rear.
Looking at the rear of the AC chassis, the hot air exhaust for the CP and I/O modules is at the top.
The hot air exhaust for the SF modules is to the right of the SF module slots.
