COOLING SPECIFICATIONS

 

COOLING REQUIREMENTS

 

 

> 100 W/slot

COOLING MODES

 

 

Three cooling modes are available for the CT-400 mainframe. High or low

 

speed cooling modes can be selected by moving the Fan Speed switch at the

 

rear of the mainframe. The variable cooling speed mode determines fan speed

 

as a function of ambient temperature a mainframe load. The power supply and

 

modules are cooled by separate fans.

AIR FLOW PATH

 

 

Air is drawn into the mainframe from the rear and is pressurized below the

 

cards. The air is then distributed across all slots along the total length of each

 

slot and is exhausted through the top of the mainframe. When the mainframe is

 

rack mounted, allow approximately 2.0 inches (5.1 cm) of clearance at the top

 

and rear for proper airflow.
