Appliance Air Vents

Make sure that the appliance air vents have sufficient airflow from front to rear when the appliance is mounted in a rack.

Important - If the appliance vents are blocked, the appliance can become too hot and it can be damaged.

The appliance and rack rails have been tested in extreme conditions and do not block air flow to the appliance. These appliances are specifically designed to install with these rails.
