Reference Manual R FR 5010 Version1.4
Rack Installation
If you have an empty R FR 5010 rack frame we recommend you assemble the connection plates and modules as well as any options such as the redundant power supply and controller before mounting the Rack Frame into a 19” inch rack. (Please refer to assembly section)
Location
The R FR 5010 Rack frame can be located anywhere there is available
Ventilation
Depending on the installed modules up to three R FR 5010 rack frames can be mounted stacked, with no space
NOTE: In case of modules with higher power dissipation, e.g. P VD 5010, appropriate cooling is required. We recommend in these cases to add 1 RU space in between each rack.
The R FR 5011 with a front cover with integrated fans should be used for critical applications where external cooling is not sufficient.
Note. Airflow through the R FR 5010 rack frame is from bottom to top. Forced (fan) cooling may be required in case of modules with higher power dissipation. Please consider other surrounding equipment when designing rack layout. Placing the R FR 5010 directly above another piece of equipment with heat exhaust from the top may cause the Card Modules to malfunction due to excessive heat. Like wise, if placed below another piece of equipment with bottom air intake the R FR
