Cool air enters the chassis through the chassis front panel and warm air exhausts out the back. For optimal cooling,
allow 100 mm of clearance at the front and back of the chassis.
Optional air filter
You can purchase an optional NEBS compliant air filter kit that includes a front filter that fits over the front of the chassis.
This filter is not required for normal operation but can be added if you require air filtration.
The air filters should be inspected regularly. If dirty or damaged, the filters should be disposed of and replaced. The air
filters can be fragile and should be handled carefully.
