Unpacking and Installation, Rack SSPA
Air Ducting Installation
The SSPA is cooled with a built-in fan. Heated exhaust air should
not be recirculated into the SSPA. The air intake is located on the
front of the SSPA, and an exhaust fan pulls air through the SSPA. A
clearance of 6-8 inches from the exhaust is recommended to allow
the heated exhaust air to clear the SSPA.
If the unit is installed in a closed cabinet or in a configuration that
would tend to recirculate the exhaust air, provisions should be made
to isolate the exhaust air from the intake air supply.
The Exhaust Port Guard can be removed and replaced with an air
duct to carry the exhaust away from the SSPA. The air duct is
available from XICOM Technology. See appendix titled
