Hapi recommended placement in Rack
Due to confined space in a rack furniture, adequate spacing (and ordering) between multiple Hapi or
Horus units will play a significant role on the units temperature. Although Merging has spent
considerable time in optimizing the Hapi power consumption in every aspect possible, the units are still
drawing an average of 30W. The dissipation of the related heat produced by this consumption is
therefore highly dependent on the airflow and natural air convection around those units.
With highly loaded Horus units (more than 3 I/O Analog modules per unit) or Hapi units (2 I/O Analog
modules per unit), Merging recommends a free space of 1U above each unit to ensure adequate
cooling of the devices, if no other heating elements are present.
