3.8
Console Rear Panel
1
Removable Script Tray (optional)
One or more removable script trays may be ordered. The script tray glides across the top of the frame, and can
be lifted on or off for removal.
2
Ventilation Holes & Sticker
The sticker shows the direction of airflow (required for convection cooling) and the minimum distance
requirements (for installing the frame). It is important that cold air is taken in underneath the console, near the
armrest, and that cold air flows externally upwards across the whole of the rear panel. This is because both the
PSU heat sink (3) and Bayserver back plates (4) will dissipate heat during operation.
3
PSU Heat Sink
Radiates heat from the internal power supplies. The heat sink indicates the location of each PSU block within
the frame.
4
Ethernet Server Back Plates
Radiates heat from the internal Ethernet servers. The back plates indicate their location within the frame.
5
MAINS 1 & 2
The
MAINS 1
&
MAINS 2
connectors supply AC mains power to the frame. The sticker states the AC mains
requirements.
Depending on the frame size, one or more PSU "blocks" may be installed, each providing main and redundant
power supplies. Therefore, in larger frames you will see more than one set of
MAINS
connectors.
6
CASE
The CASE grounding screw (M5 x 12mm) should be used to ground the frame.
7
Local IO Connector Panel
