Ensuring proper ventilation
Proper ventilation for the system is important for workstation operation. Follow these guidelines to
ensure adequate ventilation:
Operate the workstation on a sturdy, level surface.
●
Place the workstation in an area with adequate ventilation. Provide at least 15.24 cm (6 inches) of
●
clearance at the front and back of the workstation as shown in the following figure.
Your workstation might look different than the one shown.
Figure 1-5
Ensure that the ambient air temperature surrounding the workstation falls within the published limit.
●
NOTE:
a 1 C per 304.8 m (1000 ft derating above 1524 m (5000 ft). So, at 3,048 m (10,000 ft), the
upper ambient air temperature limit is 30 C.
For cabinet installation, ensure adequate cabinet ventilation and ensure that the ambient
●
temperature within the cabinet does not exceed published limits.
Never restrict the incoming or outgoing airflow of the workstation by blocking any vents or air
●
intakes as shown in the following figure.
