CDM-600 Satellite Modem Revision 7
Installation MN/CDM600.IOM

2.2 Mounting
If the CDM-600 is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for
ventilation, particularly at the sides. In rack systems where there is high heat dissipation,
forced air cooling must be provided by top or bottom mounted fans or blowers. Under no
circumstance should the highest internal rack temperature be allowed to exceed 50°C
(122°F).
IMPORTANT
The CDM-600 CANNOT have rack slides mounted to the side of the
chassis - two cooling fans are mounted on the right-hand side of the unit.
However, Comtech EF Data recommends that an alternate method of
support within the rack be employed, such as rack shelves. If there is any
doubt, please consult the Comtech EF Data Customer Support department.
