Cooling is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting
a location for the library. The L25 and L100 libraries are force-cooled:
air is drawn into the library through vents at the lower edge of the
front bezel and exhausted through vents at the back of the library. To
ensure that the library is adequately ventilated:
• Place the library on a hard, level surface, or in a standard 19-inch
rack.
• If the library will be placed in a rack, the rack must be open or
ventilated so that the air temperature behind the library at the air
outlets is less than 104°F (40°C).
• Verify that no cables obstruct the vents at the back of the library
(see
and
).
• Verify that nothing obstructs the vents at the lower edge of the
front bezel.
• Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space behind the library or rack.
• Do not install the library near a heater or radiator which could
warm the air drawn into the library.
