Heat Dissipation
supplies, as well as the type and the number of modules installed. To ensure the safety,
performance, and reliability of the system, excessive heat generated by the modules
must be dissipated into the surrounding air. Dissipation is accelerated by ventilation.
An air conditioning system may be required to cool the equipment to acceptable operating
temperatures. The capacity of the air conditioning system must be large enough to
sufficiently dissipate the heat generated by all of the equipment in the area. If the
temperature of the intake air flow is too high, an overtemperature condition occurs.
To estimate the heat flow volume that your cooling system must dissipate, calculate the
quantity of heat produced by each shelf when consuming its power requirement.
CAUTION
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature!
If installed in a cabinet or multi-rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
temperature. Be careful to install the equipment in an environment that is
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
ADVA Optical Networking.
WARNING
To prevent the FSP 3000 C from overheating, do not operate it in an area
that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 104°F
(40°C).
