1. Overview
1.9 Site Requirements
The E3000 is designed to be installed into a rack that meets the EIA-310 standard with a minimum of 1000
mm (39.4 in.) of usable rack space, frame to frame. The vertical rack rails must be set between 718 mm
(28.26 in.) – 850 mm (33.46 in.) to support the enclosure. It requires 3U of rack space, and it should be
installed into the rack at the lowest possible U height to keep the load on the rack balanced.

Thermal and Cooling Requirements
The thermal output of the enclosure depends on the number of F3x00s that are populated in the E3000
chassis. Use the following table to determine how many BTUs of heat will exhaust from the rear of the unit.

BTU Exhaust per Component
Condition
Typical BTU Output
Max BTU Output
Single E3000 with BMC Module 768 BTU/hr = 225 W
(25C/77F, fans at 50%)
1177 BTU/hr = 345 W
(35C/95F, fans at 100%)
Single F3x00
409 BTU/hr = 120 W
