I just poked around on the IBM site, they're selling x330's in a standard
(IBM that is) 19 inch rack with them stacked on top of each other. The rack
has perforated front & back with solid sides... It's definitely a front to
back flow.

they are IBM. Our rack is basically just a shell. No side or front =
panels, open all around. We have our air setup the same way with the =
return in the ceiling behind the rack and the perfs towards the front. =
Although we found out the hard way that the A/C condensation drain pipe =
runs right over the rack. I walked in one morning to find water = dripping
on the rack and servers. Not fun, I don't recommend it. We = are moving
the rack when we add the new servers which is why I am = gathering info.
The IBM servers have fins/perfs on the corner. If you look at front = face,
the slits are both on the front and underneath a little. It = doesn't look
like there are any intakes on the top or bottoms so I guess = I probably
should stack them closer.

Greg,
What servers are you using? Dell & Compaq pull air from Front to Back, = so
the sides, top, & bottom don't matter. Take a look at a Compaq or Dell =
rack & you'll note that the fronts are perferated and the sides are solid.
In our data center, we put perferated tiles in front of the racks and = put
the air returns in the ceiling above the backs of the racks.

I have to add some servers to my rack. Is it generally better to leave =
=3D some space between them or just stack them up right on top of each =3D =
other? Or does it not matter at all.
Just curious what everyone else is doing.
