Note Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be able to cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequat e circulation. Ensure that the room in which you
operate your system has adequate air circulation.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not overly congested, because
each unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
The enclosure must also provide adequate cooling throug h the use of an appropriately sized heat
exchanger or air conditioner, which dissipates the heat generated by existing remote terminal system
components and by the installed MGX 8880 Media Gateway.
