ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 System Environmental Guidelines

Adhere to these environmental guidelines when utilizing an ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 system.

Thermal Protection Shutoff

ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 systems are equipped with multiple thermal protection sensors at the top of the system and at the system exhaust that will shut the system down if a temperature threshold of 85 °C is reached. Top-of-rack thermal protection sensors are located at the rack ceiling panel for the ATE-15U and at the top-of-rack fans for the ATE-38U, ATE-44U, and ATE-38E.

Caution Once the thermal protection shutoff has tripped, any touchable or accessible surface should be allowed to cool to 65 °C before servicing the system. All service must be done by a trained service person.
Attention Une fois que le dispositif d'arrêt de protection thermique s'est déclenché, laisser refroidir à 65 °C toute surface pouvant être touchée ou accessible avant de procéder à l'entretien du système. Toutes les réparations doivent être effectuées par un technicien qualifié.
The system should be inspected after the thermal protection shutoff is activated.
Caution Be sure to disconnect AC power from your ATE Core Configurations Generation 2 system before performing an inspection.
Attention Veillez à déconnecter l’alimentation CA de votre système Configurations de base d’équipement de test automatisé (ATE) de deuxième génération avant d’effectuer une inspection.
After the fault is removed and the system is safe, reconnect AC power and complete the Powering On procedure. The system should now power on as normal. Note that if the thermal protection sensors have tripped it is likely a result of a fault in the system (such as a fan failure) that should be addressed before the system is allowed to resume normal operation.
Note The thermal protection is configured so that the sensors will not activate under normal operating conditions, recommended power levels, cooling configuration, and ambient environment. If the thermal protection sensors are triggered and no equipment fault can be found in the system, the system may be configured in such a way that there is an extreme thermal load in a small area of the system. Care should be taken to configure the system so thermal loads are spread evenly throughout the interior of the system.
