14579-030 (PXIe System) 4 Cooling The PXIe boards and the power supply are cooled by forced air convection through two 12 VDC axial fans (258 m³/h (172 cfm)). Caution! To maintain proper airflow, all open slots must be covered with filler panels. The filler panel should include an airflow baffle that extends to backplane.
14579-030 (PXIe System) 4.1 Temperature Settings 1 NTC temperature sensor is located in top of the card cage and one behind. They are connected to the CMM. The highest temperature level is the reference for the fan speed. To ensure proper fan control, place the PXIe Module with the highest heat dissipation in the slots directly underneath the NTC temperature sensor.
