3.3.1 Cooling

bottom side of the subrack in the front and rear bay areas. Adequate ambient airflow to the fan
inlet areas must be ensured. In addition, the area above the subrack must also provide for ad-
equate outlet airflow. Direct re-cycling of outlet air to the inlet area must be avoided to preclude
overheating of the system.

Filler panels for the OM6040 are available as required. Depending on solution requirements
these components may be removed or reconfigured as necessary.
