ventilation is required. For benchtop applications additional cooling clearances may be
required for optimal air flow and reduced hot air recirculation to the air inlet fans.

USE ONLY COMPATIBLE RACK MOUNT KITS.
COOLING CLEARANCE REQUIRED. SEE MANUAL.
Caution Failure to provide these clearances may result in undesired thermal-
related issues with the chassis or modules.
To aid in thermal health monitoring for either rack or benchtop use you can monitor the
chassis intake temperatures in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to ensure the
temperatures do not exceed the ratings in the Operating Environment section of the PXIe-1092
Specifications.
Additionally, many PXI modules provide temperature values you can monitor to ensure
critical temperatures are not exceeded. Increasing chassis clearances, ventilation, reducing
external ambient temperatures, and removing nearby heat sources are all options for improving
overall chassis thermal performance.
The vent locations are shown in the following figure.
