PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively perform air conditioning in a server room and a server rack by preventing exhaust air after heat exchange from being discharged into the server room, and to provide an air conditioning system for a server system capable of reducing cost required to construct a building by saving useless space.SOLUTION: A ceiling L is provided with a feeding passage 11 for feeding conditioning air and a feedback passage 12 for returning exhaust air to an air conditioner 10. A duct structure for connecting a server rack 1 and the feedback passage 12 includes a duct base 17 fixed to the server rack 1, a duct part 18 connected to the duct base 17, and a fan unit 19 arranged inside the duct base 17. Servers S1 and S2 mounted on the server rack 1 make an exhaust air opening 5 provided on the rear thereof face exhaust air passages 6 and 7 inside the server rack 1. The fan unit 19 forcedly feeds exhaust air discharged to the exhaust air passages 6 and 7 to the feedback passage 12 through the duct base 17 and the duct part 18.
