Chassis Requirements
Recommended best practices to ensure proper and safe module operating conditions:
Ensure proper chassis air flow is maintained.
Select a chassis that provides thermal protection if fans become inoperable or
forced air cooling is obstructed.
Use slot blockers (Keysight model Y1212A , 5 per kit) and EMC filler panels in
empty module slots to ensure proper operating temperatures. Keysight chassis
and slot blockers optimize module temperature performance and reliability of
test.
Set chassis fans to high or auto. Do not disable fans.
Position chassis to allow plenty of space around chassis air intake and fan
exhaust.
At environment temperatures above 45 °C, set chassis fan speed to high.
The instruments can operate with mains supply voltage
fluctuations up to ±10% of the nominal voltage.

The Keysight chassis shown above have multiple air intakes. They are located at the
sides, front, and bottom of the chassis.
