Ventilation Requirements
Cavity Size
If the Retail Blade™ is to be located in a cavity, i.e. under the counter, the cavity
dimensions must be a minimum of 450mm (17.7”) long by 400mm (15.7”) wide by 200mm
(7.9”) deep (excluding the external PSU). A diagrammatic representation is as follows:
Although this is the required space, the Retail Blade™ MUST be located centrally to
prevent the airflow from being disrupted through the ventilation holes in the sides or the
rear of the case.
Enclosed Spaces
If the Retail Blade™ is to be located in an enclosed space, i.e. in a closed box or cabinet,
there must be sufficient airflow into and out of the enclosed space. Using the above cavity
space, for example, forced airflow would have to be fitted to prevent the Retail Blade™
from overheating. As a general rule, the Retail Blade™ requires an airflow exchange rate
of a minimum of 25 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) excluding PSU or 30 CFM including
PSU when in an enclosed space.
The recommended location for these fans is as follows:
