Basic unit plus expansion units
If in addition to the basic unit expansion units are also used, there are sev
eral ways of configuring the subrack.
A towerstyle structure of the subracks may only consist of 3 subracks. The
subracks are assembled on top of each other without space inbetween. If
the lowest subrack is a basic unit, this basic unit must contain a fan unit.

Fig. 6-2 Possible configuration of the subracks
A clearance of at least 90 mm under the subrack is required for sufficient air
circulation and for replacing a fan unit.
If no more than 3 expansion units are mounted on top of each other and no
modules requiring a fan unit are used, the use of a fan unit is not necessary
as long as the entry temperature of the air at the subrack <55 ºC.
