5.4 Installing a 7360 ISAM FX-16 heat and fiber
baffle kit
The 7360 ISAM FX-16 heat and fiber management baffle kit is required to meet
NEBS preferred airflow specifications (air flows in the front, and out the rear of the
shelf).
The heat and fiber baffle kit must be installed above the card cage of the
7360 ISAM FX-16 shelf for cable management and support, and for protection from
possible flame spread and damage to any equipment in the rack. The kit can be
shipped factory installed in the rack, but can also be ordered as a separate unit for
replacement on site.
The heat and fiber baffle kit includes the following:
• Pre-assembled heat and fiber baffle kit provides protection from possible flames.
The skirts work in conjunction with the intumescent panel so that any gaps are
closed off in the shelf and flames are forced through the intumescent panel to
protect the equipment from possible fire damage.
• Intumescent panels are required for heat protection and increased air flow.
• Top baffle is required for correct air flow, protection from heat and possible flame
spread or loose falling particles that may cause damage to equipment, and fiber
management purposes.
• Fiber management bracket is required for mounting onto the cable management
bracket of the 7360 ISAM FX-16 shelf to enable the installation of the fiber
management guide.
Note 1 — Shelves must already be mounted to a rack prior to
following this procedure to install a baffle. See Procedure 10 for
installing a 7360 ISAM FX-16 shelf.
Note 2 — The 7360 ISAM FX-16 fiber management bracket
pre-assembly must be installed on the cable management
bracket of the shelf after the heat and fiber baffle kit is installed.
