Cooling Requirements

The MDXII unit is an air-cooled power supply, so ensuring that adequate ventilation is
provided is important.
For the MDXII unit to be sufficiently cooled, the cabinet must be set up to:
• Bring in coolant air of the correct temperature (35°C maximum)
• Distribute coolant air to the power supplies
• Prevent air exhausted from the cabinet from circulating back and becoming input air
• Exhaust the hot air from the cabinet with minimal airflow restriction
Figure 4-3 on page 4-4 illustrates looking down on the top of an MDXII unit in a cabinet.
The arrows in the illustration show the direction of air flow.
