Please log in for more thread options "Thank you" to everyone for these helpful responses. Our boss is against the idea of a closet - I think some of that has to do with how the room is designed and where the A/C's are located, etc. He also mentioned ducting - however, I've never heard of such a thing with these items. Can someone point me to some products or images? I suspect we will also run into some trouble with the HP 1U rack servers (3 or 4 of them) that are racked nearby. This probably wasn't an expected issue (thus not planned for) - however the lab is there, installed and it's not really going to change much ;-) Someone else mentioned a sound dampening curtain, which I would be against - it's going to cut off air flow and probably pose a fire hazard at least ;-) Thanks again, everyone.

They could make up a square 1U high ?? wide duct with the horizontal sides extended an inch or so to slide against the top and bottom of the switch. Make them long enough to extend back so you can anchor them to the rack. At the end have them convert to a round standard size with more area than the square box. Go buy a standard elbow and tube and run from there. Or even flexible duct. A small town will have a dozen or so shops than can custom make ducting. David Ross | |||||||||||||||||||
