My Rackbrute 6U is 88HP width but I found it has an additional 1HP, so I took advantage of this to accomodate my modules and fill up to 89HP space in the upper row.

Is it ok to use this additional 1HP? or the additional 1HP purpose is to allow for heat flow?. The power module generates noticeable heat and I assume the heat sink is the case itself (Anyway I leave 1HP free in the low row)

HI @murry61

That’s a nice setup you have there!

I’m not a modular guy myself, but i do have a rather nice rack full of rather expensive and very nice bits of equipment that often get VERY warm.
Personally, i would err on the side of caution and, until anyone more experienced and knowledgeable in these things says otherwise, and just assume it’s there for airflow.

HTH!

@matjones Thanks for your advice. I will consider to leave at least 1HP for airflow.
