SLSC-12001 Chassis Getting Started Guide and Specifications
Installing the Chassis
The SLSC-12001 chassis is designed to operate in an instrument rack with cooling clearances
to allow for proper airflow circulation.
Caution
The SLSC-12001 chassis must be installed in a rack or similar enclosure
that ensures the rear of the chassis is not accessible (per IEC 61010-1) during normal
use. Access to the RTIs must require a tool. The front of the chassis may remain
accessible. Additionally, the rack or enclosure must meet the enclosure requirements
of IEC 61010-1 for containing the potential spread of fire from the RTIs.
The SLSC-12001 chassis cooling inlet air vents are located on the front lower side of the chassis
and the outlet air vents are on the back upper side of the chassis. Position the air inlet to pull
air from outside the instrument rack. For best performance the air vents must allow easy air
circulation without wiring or panels blocking the vents. Refer to Figure 5 for airflow and
clearance information.
Figure 5.
SLSC-12001 Chassis Airflow
In order to operate the chassis at the maximum allowable ambient temperature and maximum
power as specified in the
Environmental
section, you must mount the chassis horizontally in the
rack and allow for airflow at the intake and exhaust as shown in Figure 5. Filler panels, which
are available at

, must be inserted in any empty front module slots and in any empty rear
RTI slots.
