Optional Versions with Fan Tray - KBox C-103-NGSF
By using a fan tray, the KBox C-103-NGSF can be operated in a control cabinet with
extended ambient temperature; refer to the specified values in the section 11.2
“Environmental Specifications” and chapter 6/ “Power and Thermal Considerations”.
The KBox C-103-NGSF with fan tray chassis extension is designed to provide a better
airflow through the system chassis.
Figure 22: KBox C-103-NGSF-1 equipped with the optional fan tray
The fan is integrated in a user-friendly, replaceable fan tray (hot-swapping). The fan
tray is designed to be inserted into the fan tray slot (Figure 22, pos. 6) on the bottom
side of the KBox C-103-NGSF. The fan tray simplifies the installation and removal of
this component, even during operation.
The fan rotation speed is temperature controlled in dependence on the CPU temperature.
Thus, a reliable air circulation for optimal active cooling of the KBox C-103-NGSF is
ensured.
The temperature conditions of the system (depending on the environmental temperature and
the system load) are detected by the CPU temperature sensor.
In order to ensure a clean air circulation through the system, the fan tray slot
provides an installed
air filter (Figure 22, pos. 3).
The air filter, which protects your system against dust and dirt, is washable and may be
replaced during operation; refer to subsection 9.4 “Cleaning the Air Filter”.
