2.5 Ventilation
Ventilation for the frame is provided by a two fans mounted in the center of the rear panel, one behind each of
the two power supply slots. These fans draw air through the frame and exhaust it to the rear. Ventilation slots are
provided in the front panel to allow air to flow into the frame, and an air filter is mounted in the frame door.
Important Note: to ensure proper cooling, the front panel of the Densité 2 frame must be closed at all times
when cards are installed and operating
The frame-mounted fans are supplemented by a fan mounted in each power supply. These are not field-
serviceable.
Ensure that the front panel ventilation slots are not obstructed. Check the air filter regularly to ensure that it is
not plugged up with debris. The filter may be cleaned by rinsing in warm water. Dry thoroughly before replacing
it in the frame. See section 3.4 for details.
