IPA Hardware Installation Guide 19
Environment & Drive Cooling
The IPA drive operates in an ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (120°F) ambient air temperature.
The drive can tolerate atmospheric pollution degree 2. Only dry, non-conductive pollution is acceptable.
Therefore, it is recommended that the drive be mounted in a suitable enclosure.
For drive cooling, you must install the drive so that the heat sink fins are vertical. Figure 2 on page 23 shows the
mounting orientation, as well as the minimum top, bottom, and side installation clearances.
NOTES:
Avoid installing heat-producing equipment directly below a drive.
Make sure the ambient air temperature entering the drive or rising up to the drive is
within acceptable ambient temperature limits. Under normal use, the temperature
of air leaving the drive and heat sink may be 25°C (45°F) above ambient
temperature.
After installation, verify that the ambient air temperature directly below the top-
most drive does not exceed the maximum Ambient Air Operating Temperature
shown below. In addition, make sure that nothing obstructs the circulating airflow.
