Cooling
Considerable effort was put into the mechanical design of this high-density frame. AXON has managed to combine many functions into a confined area without running into temperature or power issues. The fan units can be replaced while the Synapse SFR18 is operational. They are easily removed via the top of the frame. The SFR18 is built around a ‘sandwich’ construction. Two powerful fan units placed in a tunnel, which runs across the top and rear of the frame, ensure a reliable and evenly spread airflow over all 18 cards. The airflow intake is on the front of the frame with outlets at either side. The SFR18 power supply has its own cooling system.
SFR04
The SFR04 has its air intake on the right side and outlets for the warm air on the left side of the chassis. The removable power-supply of the SFR04 also houses the fan unit for easy maintenance.
SFR08
The SFR08 has its air intake on the right side and outlets for the warm air on the left side of the chassis. It features a front removable fan tray between the two groups of four cards.
SFR18
SFR18 active cooling by built-in fan units.
