IMPORTANT: For reliable performance, it is recommended that the OG-X-FR frame door
not be opened for longer than 5 minutes on frames loaded with more than 40W.
For some extra high power cards, the door should not be open for more than 1
minute.
Cooling Fan Module
The OG-X-FR frames come standard with a Cooling Fan Module installed in the
frame door. The frame and PS-OGX can supply up to a maximum of 500W of
card power, with 15W per card. Under these ventilated conditions, there is no
requirement for extra vertical spacing between the frames. The OG-X-FR frames
can be stacked one on top of the other, a feature that is highly desirable in
densely crowded rack frame environments.
Caution! The two sides of the
OG-X-FR
frame have perforations that are needed to
ventilate the power supplies and must not be blocked.
Airflow Requirements
Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets
can be greater that the ambient temperature within a room. For safe long term
reliability, ensure the ambient air temperatures at the OG-X-FR frame front intake
area are within the product’s specified operating temperature range. Adequate
ventilation within a rack frame must also be maintained. Ensure to adhere to the
following clearance recommendations:
• Minimum 2” (5.08cm) clearance both right and left-hand side of the chassis
sides with unrestricted vertical airflow.
• Minimum 5” (12.7cm) clearance at the chassis rear with unrestricted vertical
airflow.
Installation Requirements
Keep the following in mind when installing your OG-X-FR frame:
• Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as
to allow adequate ventilation.
• The frame cannot be sealed in a closed container and must be installed in free
air space where the ambient temperature is monitored and controlled to not
exceed 40°C (104°F) at the frame front door airflow intake.
• Ensure that adequate space exists in front and behind the frame and on both
sides of the frame for airflow exhaust.
• The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
Installing the Rear Support Bars and Brackets
Under normal conditions, mounting the OG-X-FR frame to the front of the rack
with four rack screws should be sufficient to carry the load, including the weight
of accompanying cables.
To help reduce mechanical stress due to cable weight, the FSB-OGX rear support
brackets are available for the OG-X-FR frame. The FSB-OGX are specifically
engineered to compensate for extra load stress associated with certain
applications, such as mobile truck installations, to also support the rear of the
OG-X-FR frame.
