Frame Cooling Fans
Air intake for the frame is handled by six fans located near the front of the frame and two heat sinks near
the rear of the frame. The fans draw air into the frame through a grille and filter in the front door. The heat
sinks help to exhaust air out through grates on either side (see diagram, above).
Power Supply Cooling Fan
Each PSU has one fan located on its front. Each PSU draws air through the frame’s front grille, through the
PSU, then out to the closest rear fan to be exhausted out the side of the frame (see diagrams, above and
below):
Air Filter
Cooling air drawn into the Kaleido-X16 frame by the ventilating fans passes through a filter located behind
a grille in the front door of the frame.
CompactFlash
In order to boot the CPU, you must ensure the appropriate CompactFlash (CF) card is properly inserted in
the CF slot (accessible from the front of the Kaleido-X16 frame). The CF card contains the operating system
required for a system boot.
IMPORTANT: The Kaleido-X16 frame requires a constant flow of cooling air during operation. DO NOT OPERATE
THE UNIT IF THESE FANS ARE NOT WORKING. If a fan is not working contact your next level of
support.
