Network Switch Cooling
Effective cool air delivery for network switches with varying airflow patterns
ASHRAE increased the acceptable intake temperature specifically to improve data center cooling efficiency. Increasing your supply air temperature to the IT equipment space is the most significant step you can take to improve efficiency. This practice combined with containment methods allows chillers to operate for fewer hours… good news for efficiency gains but is causing failures with network operations.
Switch port density makes it very convenient to place network switches facing the rear of rack where sever port density resides to simplify network cabling. Due to high-port density, intake air is typically at the sides of the switch chassis with heat exhaust out the rear or other side of the network switch chassis.

Cool Multiple Large Core Switches in Wide Racks with Opengate Containment Cooling Systems
Heated exhaust air from network equipment is directed to the rear top of the rack and exhausted out through the exhaust duct. Cool air enters the rack front and provides a blanket of cool air along the side of the network switch.
