My minor revelation after spending a few hours in the datacenter this AM,
standing over a floor-vent while using the KVM:
When installing a rack-mounted KVM, arrange it so that it opens onto the
hot aisle, for operator comfort.
Personally, I'd rather have a more comfortable temperature when I'm forced to
work in the datacenter for an extended period, at the possible expense of
increased fan noise and having to walk around the racks to reach the front of a
piece of equipment.
YMMV.
You may not want to follow this layout for a KVM at the center of a 20-rack
aisle (the sensibility of that long an uninterrupted row is another topic).
