Cabinet
Requirement Guidelines
Cabinet airflow When you mount the controller in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient
requirements to prevent overheating.
Ensure adequate cool air supply to dissipate the thermal output of the controller or controllers.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot air exhaust of the chassis to exit the cabinet without
recirculating into the controller. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air
exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet has a top
or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the controller in the cabinet in a way that maximizes the open space on the side of the chassis
that has the hot air exhaust.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets allows for the proper clearance around the
controller and cabinet.
A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better airflow and reduces the chance of
overheating.
