2.3. COOLING
The Router frame is designed to ensure adequate cooling for up to 300 watts of processing power per
frame. Fans at the front and rear of each power supply module accomplish forced air cooling. Adjacent
equipment may be mounted immediately to the top and bottom of the frame. Additional module cooling is
provided by interior cooling channels to ensure that even fully loaded frames mounted adjacent to each
other will operate within the normal temperature range.
For proper cooling, the frame must contain either two XRF6PS power supplies, or
one XRF6PS power supply and one XRF6PS-FM power supply blank panel with
cooling fan.
2.3.1. Fan Exhaust
The cooling fans for the power supplies, located at the front of the frame, draw air in the front and exhaust
out the sides of the frame. The cooling fans for the modules, located at the rear of the frame, draw air in
the front and the exhaust out the rear of the frame. To ensure adequate cooling, care should be taken to
ensure that the fan inlets and exhaust openings are free of obstructions.
