a) 2.5-inch disk enclosure gap

Note:
Optimal airflow design, efficient fan modules, and
PID-based fan speed adjustment allow the server to
operate stably at 45°C, which is 10°C higher than
other vendors' servers (10°C–35°C).
Note:
1. Fan module shock isolation and hard disk tray
shockproof design are used to avoid sensitive
frequencies and to decrease risks of hard disk
performance deterioration caused by rotating or
shaking components.
2. Scientific packaging design effectively reduces the
impact of shocks incurred during transportation,
ensuring device reliability.
Note:
1. The RH2288 V3 uses Huawei carrier-class high-
reliability components and certification process.
2. Derating design makes electric and temperature
stress on components lower than the designed
rated values, therefore delaying parameter
degradation, prolonging the service life, and
increasing reliability.

Optimal system design enhances device reliability, ensuring the lowest failure rate.
