Thissectionprovidesabriefoverviewofthecomponentsandfunctionsofathermalsystem.
16.1. Introduction
Athermalsystemprovidesinsightintoathermallycontrolledoutdoorcabinet.Itisintendedtobeused

16.2. Create a thermal system
To create a new thermal system:
1. GotoSystems > Add or Remove Systems andselecttheCreate System buttontolaunchthe
Create System wizard.
2. IntheCreate System wizard,inthedropdownlistfortheSelect System To Create Step,choose

16.3. Thermal system configurations
Thethermalsystemisdesignedwiththeexpectationofa1:1relationshipwithaphysicalcabinet.Ifthe

maybesituationswherethereismorethanonethermalcontrollerinagivencabinet.Thisisacceptable.
16.3.1. Single-cabinet setup
