7.2.2 Air Flow Check
It is essential that proper airflow is maintained within the DPU. There is 1 fan system,
accessible via the top hatch of the DPU, which provides an air intake and exhaust.
Air intake fan
: located at the side top corner of the DPU pulls air into the unit to cool internal
components. It must be cleaned at least once every 3 months.
Fan Exhaust
: located opposite the intake fan and exhausts warm air away from the unit. It
must be free from obstructions and ait flow must be unrestricted.
