Concerns about over-heating

[jfuchs18]

Given the size and power of the unit, has there been any issues with it over-heating during extensive use? I realize there exists a degree of ventilation given the holes on the sides of the unit. Just curious if it is being used for an extended period of time in a rack case.

Thanks.

Mine has been on for over two weeks straight and I don't even have the fan hooked up.

Wow....that’s reassuring!

I forget the exact numbers but the fan is only needed if the case temperature reaches something like 120 deg. That said we do not condone disconnecting the fan. Mine is only disconnected because it actually doesn't have a fan because it's hooked up to an emulation pod.

Emulation pod? Do tell.

It's what you use to do firmware development.

This takes me back to the '80s and working on the HP 64000 series in-circuit emulation tech doc and servicing procedures.

And he has to crank it up to a hole in the roof on a stormy night to finalize the firmware..

No wonder you think the fan noise is acceptable!!
