Important Notes:

The power dissipation of each product installed in this frame is indicated in the Specifications section of the documentation provided with each module. For long-term reliability and increased product life, it is recommended that the total dissipation of all modules installed in a 8310 frame should not exceed 40 Watt total without the CFM-8310, and 120 Watt total with the CFM-8310. In addition, frames without the CFM-8310 should be provided with one rack unit of empty space above and below each frame for ventilation.

Please see the Ventilation and Cooling section in this product's Owner’s Manual for further information and options for higher load applications requiring greater heat dissipation.
