ADLINK PXES-2780 - Manual (Page 30)

20 Getting Started
2.2 Cooling Considerations
The PXES-2780 features an innovative design for heat dissipa-
tion, with cooling fans in the rear section of the chassis, drawing
cool air through apertures on the bottom for exhaust through the
back. This design provides uniform airflow for each PXI slot and
exceptional cooling capability. When the chassis is installed in a
rack, the cooling design minimizes drawing of hot air from the rear
area, where other devices exhaust, while maintaining a steady
temperature inside the chassis. For optimal cooling efficiency,
retain support feet.
When rack mounting the PXES-2780, at least 1U (44.5 mm/1.75
in.) clearance below the intake apertures is required. Also keep
other objects or equipment at a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in.) away
from the outlet apertures in the rear region of the chassis.
NOTE: NOTE:
To maintain expected air flow, please always install filler panels
in unused slots. The filler panels can be found in the chassis
package.
