Prerequisites
3.3.1
Cooling
The OM6040D requires forced-air cooling which is provided by the cooling fans located on the
bottom side of the subrack. Adequate ambient airflow to the fan’s inlet area must be ensured.
In addition, the area above the subrack must also provide for adequate outlet airflow. A mini-
mum of 1U free space above and 1U free space below the chassis is required whereby it may
be necessary to have more than 1U free space. Direct re-cycling of outlet air to the inlet area
must be avoided to preclude overheating of the system.
System integrators must be aware that the OM6040D is a very high performance solution. As
such particular attention must be paid to the thermal aspects of the system. It is highly recom-
mended that the system cooling concept to be implemented be verified empirically prior to in-
stallation in the final application.
3.3.2
Filler Panels
Operation of the OM6040D requires that all slots be fully occupied or appropriate filler panels
must be installed to close any open front area(s). To accomplish this, optionally, the OM6040D
may be delivered with pre-configured filler panels installed. Depending on solution require-
ments these components may be removed or reconfigured as necessary.
Warning!
Failure to comply with the above can result in improper operation or damage
to the OM6040D or other components installed in the OM6040D.
Kontron rejects any and all liability for improper operation or damage result-
ing from inadequate cooling of the OM6040D or components installed in the
OM6040D.
Warning!
Remove power from the system before performing any reconfiguration of
these components.
Failure to comply with the above could endanger your life or health and may
cause damage to the OM6040D or other system components including pro-
cess-side signal conditioning equipment.
Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from failure to
remove power before performing the above.
