potential to crimp the lug to a custom cable if desired.
The Acme Packet 6100 must remain well ventilated for reliable and continuous
operation. The cooling features of the chassis include:
Five individual fans
Fan Filter
The Acme Packet 6100 chassis pulls cool ambient air into the chassis through
five front-installed intake fans and exhausts heated air through perforated air
outlets located along the rear of the chassis. To avoid overheating the system,
do not block the air intake or exhaust or otherwise obstruct airflow to the
system in any way.
Each individual fan attaches to the chassis with two captive screws, and is
powered by a connector that joins the fan to the motherboard when screwed
into the chassis.

The Acme Packet 6100 automatically adjusts fan speed based on the current
operational status and environmental conditions. Fan speed regulation is an
automated process that requires no user intervention. You can monitor the
status of the fan speed from the Environment menu of the graphic display.
Each fan is a user-replaceable, hot-swappable component. If the Acme Packet
6100 experiences a fan malfunction and generates an alarm, you must remove
the existing fan and replace it with a fully functioning fan.
The Acme Packet 6100 foam air filter removes airborne particles before they
are drawn into the system chassis. The air filter, which is located behind the
front bezel that attaches to the front of the Acme Packet 6100, can be easily
removed for maintenance.
