KISS 1U Short V3 - Rev. 1.0

6/ Thermal Considerations

6.1. Active Cooling

The KISS 1U Short V3 is forced air-cooled using two internal system fans that force air to flow from the front to the
back of the chassis. The processor and extension cards have integrated cooling solutions or are equipped with the
corresponding cooling devices. If a filter pad is used, cleaned the filter pad regularly to ensure that sufficient air flow
is provided, see Chapter 10.1 “Cleaning the Filter Pad”.

6.1.1. Temperature Sensor

The temperature conditions of the system (depending on the environmental temperature and the system load) are
detected by temperature sensors on the motherboard which also controls the system fans.

6.2. Minimum System Clearance

To guarantee that sufficient air flows from the front to the back of the chassis, ensure that the ventilation openings
are not covered, blocked by obstructions from surrounding parts.

Before installing the KISS 1U Short V3 take into account, any thermal considerations mentioned in Chapter 8/:
Installation, such as airflow obstructions and correct mount orientation.

Ensure sufficient Air Flow
Ensure that the 19” industrial rack cabinet is well ventilated and does not prevent the

KISS 1U Short V3 from sucking air at the front and exhausting air at the rear.

There are no ventilation restrictions above and below the KISS 1U Short V3, enabling
installation directly on top of or below another system.

Do not place the KISS 1U Short V3 close to heat sources or damp places.

6.3. Third Party Components

When the KISS 1U Short V3 is extended and configured with third party components such as PCIe expansion cards, M.2
expansion cards, DIMMs and hard drives (HDD, SSD and DVD), there is an internal temperature rise. Thus, the air
temperature inside the system is higher than the ambient air temperature around the system.

KISS 1U Short V3 from sucking air at the front and exhausting air at the rear.

There are no ventilation restrictions above and below the KISS 1U Short V3, enabling
installation directly on top of or below another system.

The 19" industrial rack cabinet must be stable. To improve stability:

 Install systems from the bottom up

 Place heavy systems lower down

 Bolt the cabinet to the floor or anchor the cabinet to the wall

Verify that the KISS 1U Short V3 is securely mounted
When using slide rails, the KISS 1U Short V3 must be securely mounted on the slide rails and
both front handle brackets must be fastened (left side, right side) to the 19” Industrial rack
cabinet.

Installing the KISS 1U Short V3 alone can result in product damage or personal injury.

Due to possible access restrictions, before installing systems in a 19” industrial rack cabinet:

 Install all expansion card

 Connect peripherals to the corresponding system ports

To install in a 19” industrial rack, proceed as follows:

1. Install the slide rails to the KISS 1U Short V3 as described in Chapter 8.6: Installing Slide Rails (Option)
(Steps 1-3).

2. Install the corresponding slide kits to the 19” industrial rack cabinet, see Chapter 9.6: Installing Slide Rails
