This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for Cold aisle inlet air and thermal envelope: Declare the facility cool enough because the corridor thermostat reads normal while rack inlets exceed design limits. Observed scenario: An operator places blank panels irregularly and opens a recirculation path around densely packed compute nodes. The governing mechanism is: Cooling effectiveness depends on local inlet air and airflow separation; a room-average temperature cannot establish adequate GPU cooling. The proportionate action is: Restore planned airflow direction, containment and intake clearance, and validate inlet thermal conditions at loaded nodes. A direct check is: Review inlet and exhaust sensor trends, aisle containment, rack occupancy, fan telemetry and thermal throttling events. The acceptance condition is: Under representative load each node stays within supported inlet limits without avoidable thermal throttling or recirculation.

This alternative is relevant to Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping but does not directly resolve the current Cold aisle inlet air and thermal envelope issue: Trace each power supply to independent approved rack feeds and test safe loss of either feed within the supported power budget.
