You must keep theambient temperature within the specified range, and we stronglyrecommend you ensure that the cooling airflow is not restricted.Important The cooling fans are mounted behind the front panel. Toensure adequate airflow through the base station, do notoperate it for more than a few minutes with the fans discon-nected (e.g. for servicing purposes).1.7.1 Cabinet and Rack VentilationRefer to Figure 1.2 on page 9.Adequate cooling airflow is critical to the performance of the TB7100 basestation. The cooling airflow for the TB7100 base station enters through thefront panel and exits at the rear of the tray. For optimum thermalperformance, the heated air that has passed through a base station must notbe allowed to re-enter the air intakes on the front panel.Each TB7100 Base station requires an unobstructed airflow of 18m3 /hr. (11cfm).
