7410.0. "Celebris GL 6xxx & fans" by EEMELI::HKOTAKOSKI () Fri Apr 11 1997 09:15

We have little problem with one of our customers Celebris Gl 6180 pc:s.
Question relating to problem is:

For what purpose there is fan over computers power-supply in backplane. For example in Venturis FX series fan is
located to frontpanel and there is air duct leading from fan to processor. In Celebris Gl duct remains but fan is
on the other side of the computer.

    Just different ways of cooling the box.  The only minor drawback
    about the fan-in-back-pulling-air-thru-the-duct-in-front is that
    the cover must stay on.

	Our customer thinks that air flow on processor might be
	insufficient because power supply's fan is blowing air
	into and other fan from chassis..
