Cooling Considerations

The Centellis 2000 provides fault tolerant cooling to front-mounted AdvancedTCA blades and
to rear transition modules based on two intelligent fan trays. Each tray houses two fans, one
pair located at the front, the other at the rear of the shelf. The front-side fans suck in, the rear-
side fans exhaust air from inside the shelf.

The cooling system is designed to manage a heat dissipation of 320 W per front slot and
additional 35 W per rear slot.

The actual cooling performance also depends on the slot population and the heatsink design
of the installed blades and should be validated based on the used system configuration.

The cooling system is designed to provide sufficient cooling with a single fan tray at work.

If you install the system into a closed frame, ensure that the air inlet and outlet are kept free.
