    Site Considerations The 40-914 is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Determine how you want to use your 40- 914 and follow the appropriate installation instructions. Apertures in the rear and along both sides of the chassis facilitate power supply and module cooling. As shown in Figure 2-2, air enters through filters and fan inlets located in the lower rear of the chassis and exits through the upper sections on both sides and through the rear.

    FAN SPEED SETTING (40-914-101) The 40-914-101 version of the chassis is fitted with 4 fans that can each be set to one of three speed settings. For office and laboratory use it is recommended that the medium speed setting is used. For use in a rack where higher temperatures may be experienced and fan noise is less of an issue, the speed can be set to high.
