6/ Thermal Considerations
Active Cooling 6.1.
The KISS 4U 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 expansion cards have integrated cooling solutions or are equipped with corresponding
cooling devices.
If a filter pad is used, clean the filter pad regularly to ensure that sufficient airflow is provided, see Chapter 10.1:
Cleaning the Filter Pad.
Minimum System Clearance 6.2.
To guarantee that sufficient air flows from the front to the back of the chassis, ensure that the ventilation holes are
not covered, blocked or obstructed by surrounding parts.
Before installing the KISS 4U V3 take into account, any thermal considerations mentioned in Chapter 8/Installation,
such as airflow obstructions and the correct mount orientation.
Ensure Sufficient Airflow.
Ensure that the 19” rack cabinet is well ventilated and does not prevent the KISS 4U V3 from
taking in air at the front and exhausting air at the rear.
Do not place the KISS 4U V3 close to heat sources or damp places.
There are no ventilation restrictions above and below the KISS 4U V3, enabling installation
directly on top of or below another system.
Third Party Components 6.3.
For KISS 4U V3 systems extended and configured with third party components such as PCIe expansion cards, M.2
module, DIMMs and drives (HDD, SSD DVD), there is an internal temperature rise. Thus, the air temperature inside the
system is higher than the ambient temperature around the system.
