      Hi,

      the airflow for the NETGATE 1537 RAID PFSENSE+ SECURITY GATEWAY is from IO to PS.
      Is it possible to switch the direction of the fans to PS to IO panel, and if yes, what about the warrenty?

      Context: The appliance will be installed in a rack, with the IO panel pointing to the back of the rack, and therefore sucking in warm/hot air form servers beneath.

      Thx

        There's no offiicial procedure for that and I could imagine the CPU cooling being worse with the fans pushing air toward it. The shroud becomes much more important. Additionally there is no easy way to change the flow from the PSU fan.
