Fan Tray - AudioCodes MediaPack Series Hardware Installation Manual

CHAPTER 3 Physical Description

Fan Tray

The device provides a Fan Tray module, located on the front panel, which is concealed by a fan
tray cover. The Fan Tray module contains six individual fans which cool the device's internal
components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature inside the chassis.
The Fan Tray module draws air in from the outside through the perforated fan tray cover on
the front panel (see following figure). A replaceable air filter, located inside the fan tray cover,
removes dust particles from the sucked in air. The incoming air passes through the chassis,
cooling the internal components and then exits the chassis through the vents on the rear
panel (see following figure).
When installing the chassis, make sure there is sufficient front- and rear-side clearance
for proper airflow into and out of the chassis.
