Air Flow through the Mainframe
The Kula mainframe can be used freestanding (tabletop configuration) or installed in a
standard 483mm (19 inch) equipment rack. The following precautions should be observed:
1 The air intakes on both sides and the cooling fan exhausts at the rear of the unit must
not be obstructed - a minimum clearance at the rear of the mainframe of 200mm (8
inches) is
ESSENTIAL
.
2 Air intakes situated at the front and on both sides, are to allow the inlet of cooling air
and
MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED.
Cooling Fan Failure
IF THE COOLING FANS ONTHE SWITCHER MAINFRAME SHOULD STOP FOR ANY REASON,
THEN THE SYSTEM SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF IMMEDIATELY OR PERMANENT DAMAGE
MAY RESULT.
Depending on the length of time the mainframe has been run with no fan the unit may
need to be returned for checking and repair. Contact Grass Valley or your Grass Valley
dealer to discuss the situation.
