9.3 Installing a 7360 ISAM FX-12 heat and fiber
baffle kit
The 7360 ISAM FX-12 heat and fiber baffle kit is required to meet NEBS preferred
airflow specifications (air flows in the front, and out the rear of the shelf).
The upper baffle assembly of the heat and fiber baffle kit must be installed above the
card cage of the 7360 ISAM FX-12 shelf for cable management and support, and for
protection from possible flame spread and damage to any equipment in the rack. The
lower baffle must be installed below the shelf. The kit is ordered as a separate unit
for installation and 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.
• The upper baffle assembly 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 installed in a rack prior to
following this procedure for installing a baffle. See Procedure
29 for installing a 7360 ISAM FX-12 shelf.
Note 2 — The 7360 ISAM FX-12 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.
