General Information
The Vivid i n cooling system comprises five fans, which are directly controlled through the FAN
controller module, by the monitoring application. The fans withdraw air from the system through the side
vents, removing the warm air from around the internal components, as shown in
The structure of Vivid i n internal components has been designed to provide the best thermal
conduction, allowing the maximum amount of heat to be removed from the system. It is crucial that the
system ventilation access is not blocked; a distance of at least 20 cm from right and left sides of the
system should be kept clear. In addition, operating the system in an unclean environment could
introduce foreign objects into the unit and create blockage of the airflow, which may eventually cause
irreparable damage to the system. There are therefore some minimal environmental conditions that
should be provided for optimum operation of the system - for details and recommendations, refer to
Table 2-2 on page 2-2.
