In a rackmount environment you want front to back cooling. The air is drawn in from the "cold aisle" and exhausted out the back to the "hot aisle". Brough is probably referring to http://www.routerboard.com/img/pricelist//79_m.png . If you notice it has exhaust ports on the top of the rack. This is a bad idea in a dense environment. If you have a couple of U above where you can push that air to the back of the rack it's something, but less than ideal.
