SK0-003 · Question #666
Which of the following channels air flow through a server chassis?
The correct answer is B. Ducts. Server chassis utilize internal ducts to channel and direct airflow efficiently across internal components for cooling. While fans create the airflow, ducts ensure it is directed precisely where needed for optimal heat dissipation.

Why each option
Server chassis utilize internal ducts to channel and direct airflow efficiently across internal components for cooling. While fans create the airflow, ducts ensure it is directed precisely where needed for optimal heat dissipation.
Fans are the components that *create* and move the air, but they do not channel the air themselves; they provide the motive force for airflow.
Server chassis often contain internal air ducts or baffles specifically designed to channel and guide the airflow created by fans directly over heat-producing components like CPUs, memory modules, and expansion cards. These ducts optimize cooling efficiency by preventing air from bypassing critical components and ensuring targeted cooling.
Heat sinks are passive cooling devices that dissipate heat from components into the surrounding air, but they do not channel the airflow itself.
Condensers are components typically found in refrigeration or air conditioning systems, not directly within a standard server chassis for internal airflow channeling.
