How is the cabinet ventilated when no fan is fitted?

The cabinets use passive ventilation through openings in the enclosure, including ventilation areas around the front, sides and upper and lower sections.

The roof fan position also remains open when no fan is fitted and contributes to the available passive airflow path.

Natural convection and airflow generated by installed equipment can therefore move air through the cabinet without an additional roof fan.

Do I need to fit a roof fan? Does the same roof-fan kit fit both 19-inch and Miniline cabinets? How does the roof fan move air through the cabinet? Can I install the cabinet inside a cupboard or other enclosed space?
