====Rack-mounted coolers==== [[19-inch rack|Rack cabinet]] is a typical enclosure for horizontally mounted servers. Air typically drawn in at the front of the rack and exhausted at the rear. Each cabinet can have additional cooling options; for example, they can have a [[Close Coupled Cooling]] attachable module or integrated with cabinet elements (like cooling doors in [[Lenovo System x#IBM iDataPlex|iDataPlex]] server rack). Another way of accommodating large numbers of systems in a small space is to use [[blade server|blade chassis]], oriented vertically rather than horizontally, to facilitate [[convection]]. Air heated by the hot components tends to rise, creating a natural air flow along the boards ([[stack effect]]), cooling them. Some manufacturers take advantage of this effect.<ref name="verariverticalcooling">{{cite web|title=Multi-GPU Dedicated Cloud Servers β Cirrascale Cloud Services|url=http://www.verari.com/cooling.asp|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080820153421/http://verari.com/cooling.asp|archive-date=20 August 2008|access-date=15 March 2009|website=Cirrascale Cloud Services}}</ref><ref name="silverstoneravenstackeffect">The tower case [http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/tech/wh08_0266.php Silverstone Raven RV01] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090223171045/http://www.silverstonetek.com.tw/tech/wh08_0266.php|date=23 February 2009}} has been designed to make use of the stack effect</ref>
