By using a fan tray, the KBox C-102-4/-2/-1 can be operated in a control cabinet with extended ambient temperature;
refer to the specified values in the section 16.2 "Environmental Specifications" and chapter 7/ "Thermal
Considerations".
All chapters of this manual are valid for the KBox C-102-4, the KBox C-102-2 and KBox C-
102-1 with fan tray under consideration of the mechanical differences and the description in
this section. Please refer also to the subsection 16.1.2 "Mechanical Specifications of the KBox
C-102-4 with Fan Tray Option", subsection 16.1.4 "Mechanical Specifications of the KBox C-
102-2 with Fan Tray Option", and subsection 16.1.6 "Mechanical Specifications of the KBox C-
102-1 with Fan Tray Option".
The KBox C-102 with fan tray chassis extension is designed to provide a better airflow through the system chassis.
The KBox C-102-4/-2/-1 can be only factory equipped with the optional fan tray (Figure 31). The fan tray slot is
external mounted to the bottom side of the KBox C-102-4/-2/-1 chassis and comprises a fan tray (Figure 31, pos. 1)

The fan is integrated in a user-friendly, replaceable fan tray (hot-swapping). The fan tray is designed to be inserted
into the fan tray slot (Figure 31, pos. 6) on the bottom side of the KBox C-102-4/-2/-1. The fan tray simplifies the
installation and removal of this component, even during operation.
The fan rotation speed is temperature controlled in dependence on the CPU temperature. Thus, a reliable air
circulation for optimal active cooling of the KBox C-102-4/-2/-1 is ensured.
The temperature conditions of the system (depending on the environmental temperature and the system load) are
detected by the CPU temperature sensor.
In order to ensure a clean air circulation through the system, the fan tray slot provides an installed
air filter (Figure 31, pos. 3).
The air filter, which protects your system against dust and dirt, is washable and may be replaced during operation;
refer to subsection 10.4 "Cleaning the Air Filter".
