PXIe-1073 chassis orientation

[creativethermal]

Hello,

I have an NI PXI-1073 chassis that I would like to mount with the front of the unit oriented upwards.  In the normal orientation, the unit uses a fan to force convection in the same general direction as natural convection.  The data logger will be located in an air-conditioned lab environment.

Will this mounting direction cause any issues with overheating and are there any other possible concerns?

Thanks!

Do you mean a PXIe-1073?

As long as you follow the cooling considerations you should be fine.  There just needs to be enough clearance for ventilation.

Yes, I meant the PXIe-1073.
