You can mount the CTP151 device in an enclosure or cabinet that
contains a four-post 19-in. open rack as defined in Cabinets,
Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number
EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry Association.
Cabinet requirements consist of:
Table 1 provides the

Cabinet size and clearance

The minimum cabinet size for accommodating a CTP151 device
is 36 in. (91.4 cm) deep. Large cabinets improve airflow
and reduce the chance of overheating.

Cabinet airflow requirements
|
When you mount the CTP151 device in a cabinet, ensure
that ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating.
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the
cabinet adequately dissipates the thermal output of the CTP151 device.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust
air to exit the cabinet without recirculating into the CTP151 device.
An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust
extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis.
If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements
assist with removing the hot air exhaust.
Install the CTP151 device in the cabinet in a way that
maximizes the open space on the side of the chassis that has the hot
air exhaust.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of
airflow to and from the chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent cabinets
allows for the proper clearance around the CTP151 device and cabinet.
A cabinet larger than the minimum required provides better
airflow and reduces the chance of overheating.
