3.3 Cooling Considerations
The PXIS-2508/2558T implements a forced air-cooling mecha-
nism to maintain a stable chassis and power supply temperature.
Room/cold air is taken in by internal chassis fans from the air inlet
apertures at the bottom of the chassis while hot air is exhausted
though the air outlet apertures on top. Refer to the illustration
below.
For bench top installations, provide adequate clearance for the air
inlet and outlet apertures. Keep other objects or equipment at
least 5 cm (2 in) away from the outlet apertures and avoid cover-
ing these holes. For optimum airflow, provide ample clearance for
the air inlet apertures and open the foot stands, if possible.
There are also air inlet apertures on one side of the chassis for
power supply ventilation. Hot air from the power supply is
exhausted through the chassis rear. Maintain a 2.5 cm (1 in) clear-
ance on the chassis sides for adequate power supply ventilation.
