Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch Installation Guide
Plenums 51
Plenums
Plenums facilitate proper air flow through the system by guaranteeing the
minimum space necessary for proper system ventilation. The ADC plenum
utilizes a single design that allows it to function in both an intake and
exhaust capacity. When functioning in an intake capacity, the plenum is
placed below each fan tray in the rack. When functioning in an exhaust
capacity, the plenum is placed directly above the chassis.
The plenum is a 3 1/2”H x 17 1/8 W x 16 1/4”D high-grade aluminum
chamber. Plenums are shipped rackmount-ready with brackets fixed to each
side of the unit.
Figure 1-16 shows the Cuda 12000 plenum design and resulting air flow
paths.
Figure 1-16 Plenum Design and Air Flow
When serving as an intake plenum, the fan tray mounts directly above the
plenum to draw air through the plenum’s vented front panel and up in the
system above.
