CAUTIONS...
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and
to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the instructions have been adhered to.
Do not install equipment so that the air intake of one aligns with the outlet on another. Provide baffles
and adequate spacing.
The fans contained within this unit are not fitted with a dust/insect filter. Pay particular attention to the
environment in which it is to be used.
The unit is designed for stationary or fixed use only. Ensure it is firmly and
safely located and has an adequate through-flow of air. Allow at least
50 mm free air-space at each side of the equipment.
Units in racks can be stacked without ventilation panels between. Racks
containing stacked equipment may need to be forced-air cooled to reduce
the operating ambient temperature.
The MCE chassis is cooled by five fans. Two of these fans cool the power
supply compartment towards the front of the unit, three fans cool the card
compartment towards the rear of the unit.
The air path through the equipment is shown in
Figure 2.2.

Connecting up the MCE
Connections
Once the unit has been installed in its intended operating position, it is
ready to be connected up to the rest of the system equipment (Figure 2.3
and Figure 2.4), providing it too has been installed (see Section 2.5 Signal
Connections for pin-out details of the connectors).
Do not move or install equipment whilst it is still attached to the mains
supply. Ensure ESD precautions are observed whilst inter-connecting
equipment.
