Routine Care
NOTE
Except for performing initial chassis verification or troubleshooting, do
not operate the chassis with empty slots. Always insert a filler panel in
empty slots. This is especially important for the slots on either side of an
installed instrument module. This allows proper air flow and cooling, and
provides EMI shielding for the chassis and installed components. Leaving
slots empty can increase fan speed, raise ambient noise, overheat
components, and can cause the module to shut down.
CAUTION
Do not block the vent holes on the chassis. This overheats and damages
their components. Leave a gap of at least 2” (50 mm) around all vent
holes.
CAUTION
Some instruments, such as M8057A, have an internal fan to keep the
components cooled to normal operating temperatures. Make sure that
there is enough clearance for adequate air-flow.
