Rack Cooling

When mounting the RPS in an enclosed rack or cabinet, be sure to check the following

guidelines to prevent overheating:

◆ Make sure that enough cool air can flow into the enclosure for the equipment it

contains. The RPS requires 14 CFM of cooling air flow.

◆ Check that the rack or cabinet allows the hot air to exit the enclosure (normally

from the top) without circulating back into equipment.

◆ If the enclosure has sides or doors with ventilation holes, make sure they are not

blocked by cables or other obstructions.

◆ Route cables within the rack or cabinet to maximize the airflow.

◆ When possible, do not completely fill the rack or cabinet with equipment; allow

some unused space within the enclosure for better airflow.
