Front-Air Vent
Front-Air Vent (FAV) Overview
The Front-Air Vent (FAV) is an optional accessory that is installed on the
bottom of a Trinix NXT frame. The FAV will draw cool air through the front
of the frame to cool the Trinix router. The FAV provides another option for
the “bottom to top” airflow feature of the Trinix, which is “natural, proven,
and quiet.” An FAV is quiet and can be used in human work spaces. There
are two versions of the FAV, one for the Symmetrical frames, and one for the
512x1024 Asymmetrical frame. See the 512x1024 Asymmetrical Frame
installation instructions for the 2 RU FAV installation procedure.
Symmetrical Frame
The 1RU Front Air Vent requires a minimum of 2RUs during installation.
This requirement is because the FAV must have enough room to momen-
tarily lower the FAV while the sides or “ears” are slid into place on each side
of the Trinix (
Figure 288 ).
