PTX10001-36MR Clearance Requirements for Airow and Hardware
Maintenance
When planning the site for a PTX10001-36MR installaon, you must allow sucient clearance around
the installed chassis (see Figure 19 on page 52).
Figure 19: Clearance Requirements for Airow and Hardware Maintenance for a PTX10001-36MR
Follow these guidelines:
• For the cooling system to funcon properly, the airow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See
"PTX10001-36MR Cooling System" on page 21 for more informaon about the airow through the
chassis.
• If you are mounng a PTX10001-36MR in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from
other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
• You must leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the PTX10001-36MR for service
personnel to remove and install hardware components. You must leave adequate space at the front
and back of the PTX10001-36MR. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm)
in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack.
