The Vertiv Geist SwitchAir- SA1-02005 is a passive 2U airflow management device for rear rack mounted 2U switches with side air intake. Channels provide a dedicated path for cold aisle air to flow to the intake of the switch, using the on-board fans of the network devices to pull cool air from the front of the cabinet. The SwitchAir also creates a barrier preventing recirculation of hot exhaust air from the hot aisle from entering switch intakes.
