Table 3 BOOSTIK installation recommendations
BOOSTIK operating temperature
In general, the actual operating temperature of a BOOSTIK module inserted in an
ACOUSTIK system depends on the following:
•
Ambient temperature
•
Overall airflow around the ACOUSTIK.
•
Total number of inserted and operational modules.
•
Connected seed laser module type: C15. E15, X15, or Y10
•
Actual output power level of the BOOSTIK.
•
Slot spacing between modules.
Caution: Only insert the amplifier modules in slots according to the configura-
tions listed in Table 13 on page 93 . Operating the ACOUSTIK with more than two
BOOSTIK modules inserted, or inserting BOOSTIK modules in slots not matching
the configurations in
Table 13 , may result in thermal damage to the ACOUSTIK or
its inserted modules.
