Installing the Baffle
Purpose: Redirect air coming into, and objects falling down toward, the FTTN shelf. Follow the steps in the table below to
attach a baffle above the FTTN shelves for all CO or customer premise applications. The baffle has two purposes: 1)
redirect air toward the back isle so that components located below the FTTN shelves will not over heat, and 2) Keep
objects from falling into the FTTN shelf. The baffle can either be fixed at a height above the Fan Shelf to allow for three
CPS3200U Shelves or be removed and reattached every time a CPS3200U shelf is added.
Note: There are two to airflow options provided for different applications: Airflow direction optimized for CO
deployments provided by the FTTN fan shelf is downward. Airflow direction for OSP applications is bottom to top. Baffles
should be oriented to direct cold air from the aisle through the converter shelf and out the back of the rack. A filter is
available and should be utilized in high contaminant areas with proper filter maintenance.
