3.3 Prerequisites
3.3.1 Cooling
The OM6062R requires forced-air cooling which is provided by the cooling fans located on the
bottom side of the subrack. Adequate ambient airflow to the fan’s inlet area must be ensured.
In addition, the area above the subrack must also provide for adequate outlet airflow. Direct re-
cycling of outlet air to the inlet area must be avoided to preclude overheating of the system.
3.3.2 Splitter Kits and Filler Panels
Operation of the OM6062R requires that all slots be fully occupied or appropriate filler panels
(Single or Double width) must be installed to close any open front area(s). To accomplish this,
optionally, the OM6062R may be delivered with pre-configured tier splitter kits (card guide sup-
port plate, strut, and card guide in position B) and filler panels installed. Depending on solution
requirements these components may be removed or reconfigured as necessary.
In order to reconfigure a slot, it may be necessary to remove components, AMC modules or
filler panels, prior to reconfiguring as the removal of a splitter kit requires access to both sides
of the card guide support plate.
Removal of the splitter kit itself is done by pressing on the right side of the support plate until it
noticeably gives way and then sliding it out of the slot. A flat-bladed screwdriver with a thin shaft
(4 - 5 mm) and about 12 cm long is required to remove the splitter kit in FSA-8 (the right most
slot). To accomplish this, insert carefully the screwdriver between the middle of the support
plate and the shelf sidewall until the shaft is fully inserted. If required carefully apply pressure
to the support plate until it gives way, then slide it out of the slot. The amount of pressure re-
quired to release the support plate is really minimal and should not cause permanent bending
of the support plate.
Warning!
Failure to comply with the above can result in improper operation or damage
to the OM6062R or other components installed in the OM6062R.
Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from inadequate
cooling of the OM6062R or components installed in the OM6062R.
Warning!
Remove power from the system before performing any reconfiguration of
these components.
Failure to comply with the above could endanger your life or health and may
cause damage to the OM6062R or other system components including pro-
cess-side signal conditioning equipment.
Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from failure to
remove power before performing the above.
