Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance for a CTP151 Device

When planning the site for installing a CTP151 device, you must allow sufficient clearance around the installed chassis (see Figure 1).

  • For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See CTP151 Cooling System for more information about the airflow through the chassis.

  • If you are mounting a CTP151 device in a rack or cabinet with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.

  • Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the CTP151 device. For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, you must leave adequate space at the front and back of the CTP151 device. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack or cabinet and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack or cabinet.
