Mounting
If the CDM-740 is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for ventilation,
particularly at the sides. In rack systems where there is high heat dissipation, forced air cooling
must be provided by top or bottom mounted fans or blowers. Under no circumstance should the
highest internal rack temperature be allowed to exceed 50°C (122°F).
IMPORTANT
The CDM-740 CANNOT have rack slides mounted to the side of the chassis.
Three cooling fans are mounted in the left-hand side of the unit. Comtech EF Data
recommends that an alternate method of support within the rack be employed, such
as rack shelves or the optional rear support brackets. If there is any doubt, please
consult the Comtech EF Data Customer Support department.
