Guidelines
When you mount the device in a cabinet, ensure that ventilation through
the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
•
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet
adequately dissipates the thermal output of the device.
•
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit the
cabinet without recirculating into the device. 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
contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with
removing the hot air exhaust.
•
The ACX6160 fans exhaust hot air through the vents on the fan
modules and power supplies. Install the device in the cabinet in a way
that maximizes the open space on the FRU side of the chassis. This
maximizes the clearance for critical airflow.
•
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 device and cabinet.
