Rack Installation
If you have an empty R FR 5010 rack frame we
recommend you assemble the connection plates
and modules as well as any options such as the
redundant power supply and controller before
mounting the Rack Frame into a 19” inch rack.
(Please refer to assembly section)
Location
The R FR 5010 Rack frame can be located
anywhere there is available 19-inch rack space.
The rack will take up 2 Rack Units (RU) of vertical
rack space.
Ventilation
Depending on the installed modules up to three
R FR 5010 rack frames can be mounted stacked,
with no space in-between. Allowance has been
made in the design providing space between the
racks for adequate air ventilation. Every third rack
there should be 1 RU space provided for additional
airflow.
NOTE: In case of modules with higher power
dissipation, e.g. P VD 5010, appropriate cooling is
required. We recommend in these cases to add 1
RU space in between each rack.
The R FR 5011 with a front cover with integrated fans
should be used for critical applications where
external cooling is not sufficient.
Note. Airflow through the R FR 5010 rack frame is
from bottom to top. Forced (fan) cooling may be
required in case of modules with higher power
dissipation. Please consider other surrounding
equipment when designing rack layout. Placing the
R FR 5010 directly above another piece of
equipment with heat exhaust from the top may
cause the Card Modules to malfunction due to
excessive heat. Like wise, if placed below another
piece of equipment with bottom air intake the R FR
