Hi

We have THIS server cabinet and in it we have our server, Sonicwall, NAS drive, 2 routers, print server & a small UPS.

It gets pretty warm in there and it's not even summer yet.

What's the easiest way of keeping it cool inside the cabinet?

Thanks
 
Is it inside a server room?

If it is, get some AC installed.

If not, if there any pre made holes in the top for you to install some fans?

It's not in a server room, it's in an office


Not sure how much free space you have in there but you can get 1U fans, should be enough I would have thought

There is space in there but the cabinet only has a 20x30cm rectangle cut out at the top & bottom and both of these have some cables going through them.

YES! :)

It looks perfect.

For the size of our cabinet should I go for the 2 fan or 3 fan version?
 
We have ordered a proper fan cooled server cabinet :)

Thanks for the advice.
