Chapter 3: Configurations
3. Configurations
Open Aisle Configuration
Open aisle configuration organizes racks in a single row or in hot
and cold aisle rows, but without containment. The Cold Row
CW draws hot air from the external environment or hot aisle,
removes the heat, and supplies cooled air to the front of IT
equipment in the cold aisle.
Cold Aisle Containment
Cold aisle containment captures cooled air from the Cold Row
CW and prevents it from mixing with hot air. The front of IT
equipment is accessed in the contained cold aisle. The Cold Row
CW draws hot air from the external environment, removes the
heat, and supplies cooled air back into the contained cold aisle.
