Ventilation grill for IT equipment - cooling in a cupboard - any suggestions?
Hi
Maybe a silly question but looking for some input. We have a client site which has a VC system housed in a cupboard. Although some air vents were drilled in the back, these do not provide adequate ventilation as the unit is pushed against a wall. We therefore need put some ventilation into the side of the unit.
Note the furniture is attractive so aesthetics is a consideration, but my main question is will a simple grill be adequate? This is just a small cupboard with effectively a PC (a codec using for a Video conference system)
Should I be looking at something different and if so does anyone have any suggestions?

the best cooling is obtained if an airflow is created; usually top = air out, bottom is air in
you can install a fan to have an increased flow

Or, have the system enter Sleep Mode?
