The thing that we've discovered is that arms usually block a significant amount of front-to-back airflow, which really hurts the cooling process for the affected servers. At least, this is true for all the arms we've seen. So, while we used to use arms quite a bit, now the facilities guys rip them out every opportunity they get. The cooling problems just aren't worth the minimal added value they provide. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
