Drive Array Mounting Options and Benefits 4.3.3
There are three drive array mounting options available. Below is a list of these mounting options with a brief
explanation including their benefits.
Option
Number Drive Array
Mounting Options Variations Brief Explanation and Benefits of each mounting option
1
Duct Mount
External cooling
fan system External fans mounted at one end of a cooling duct (located
directly behind the electrical cabinet) are used to force the
factory air to cool the heatsinks in the array. This heated air
from the combined heatsinks then exits at the other end of
the duct back into the factory. Refer to
4.3.4 Heatsink
Cooling with External Cabinet Air Using Duct Mount Fitment
for more details
The benefits of this system are:

The heatsinks in the array are cooled external to the
electrical cabinet, which means that the operating
conditions inside are not affected.
Internal cooling
fan system Fans mounted to a cooling duct inside the electrical cabinet
are used to force the air to cool the heatsinks in the array.
This heated air from the combined heatsinks then exists the
duct and is then recirculated inside the electrical cabinet.
Refer to
4.3.5 Heatsink Cooling with Internal Cabinet Air
Using Duct Mount Fitment for more details
The benefits of this system are:

The drive array is installed entirely within the
electrical cabinet and does not require an external
duct.
2
Wall Mount The entire Drive Array system is mounted on the gear tray.
Each PIU and D
rive’s heatsink in the array will be
independently cooled. Refer to 4.3.7 Heatsink Cooling - Wall
Mount Fitment for more details. The Drive array depth has
increased by +45mm due to the fan and heatsink
combination. Refer to
10.6.1 15kW and 24kW PIU Physical
Dimensions, 10.6.3 35A and 35AH Drive Mounting Hole
Positions and Physical Dimensions, 10.6.4 3A, 6A, 12A &
20A Drive Mounting Hole Positions and Physical Dimensions
for more details.
The benefits of this system are:

No heatsink hole cut outs in the gear tray
– PIU and
Drives are mounted directly to the gear tray.

Each unit’s heatsink can be cooled independently.

The electrical cabinet and machine design is
simplified as there is no cooling duct to consider.

No need to remove the PIU or drive to replace fans.
Refer to section
4.5 Fan Housing Assembly
Replacement for more details.
3
Recessed Mount Same description for Wall Mount except the gear tray has a
hole cut out to allow the heatsinks to pass through. Refer to
4.3.8 Heatsink Cooling - Recessed Mount Fitment 4.3.8 for
more details.
The benefits of this system are:

Heatsinks are not visible.

Allows easier maintenance of the internal electrical
cabinet operating conditions by moving the majority
of the losses to an isolated area behind the gear
tray. Refer to
10.5.3 Installation and Operation for
