Indigo 2 front panel hardware settings – PSU configuration
If both power supplies are fitted the slide switch is set to position two. If the switch is set to
one and there are two power supplies fitted, the LOWER PSU LED will flash from GREEN
to OFF every two to three seconds to warn that the switch is set to one instead of two.
Select the cooling mode
With the front panel closed both front panel fans will be functioning and the PSU fan will be
idle. When the front panel is opened the front panel fans will be switched off and the frame
cooling will be maintained by the PSU fan which will have been activated by the front panel
being opened.
There are two cooling modes that can be selected using a switch at the rear of the control
panel.

The two modes are normal (auto) and maximum cooling.
Switch one of the four-position DIL switch controls the two cooling modes as follows:

Normal (auto)
cooling
Both fans run continuously increasing in speed as the
temperature inside the frame goes up. When the frame
temperature is below approximately 30°C the panel fans run
at minimum speed. If the frame temperature goes above 30°C
the fan speed will increase to maintain adequate cooling.

Max cooling
mode
In Maximum cooling mode both front panel fans run at
maximum speed. This mode is ideal for equipment bays
where noise is not a concern.
Note:
Auto mode is dependent on PSU and PSU fans not being in an alarm state.
If one of the fans should fail, the closed frame can still operate indefinitely with an
ambient temperature of up to 40°C.
Although only one of the fans is essential in normal operation a faulty fan should be
replaced as soon as practical to prevent the long-term stressing of the modules
Warning:
Although it is possible to operate the frame with the front panel open, the frame may not
meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements in this condition.
