SIST EN 300 119-5 V1.2.2:2006

Environmental Engineering (EE); European telecommunication standard for equipment practice; Part 5: Thermal management

A standard for the thermal management of racks and cabinets defining preferred solutions for the removal of heat dissipated by one or more subracks in an ETSI rack. For example: air flow, direction of air, air velocity, permitted air temperature, necessity and type of air baffle.  The starting point for the standard is to consider the ETSI mechanical dimensions as a non-modifiable item. The standard also has to define a possible preferred range for the power dissipation within an ETSI miscellaneous rack depending on different standardized solutions. The standards should be applicable to telecommunication and ITE equipment from different suppliers designed for the installation in an ETSI rack.

The present document applies to all telecommunications rack/cabinet; miscellaneous rack/cabinets and subracks
forming part of the public telecommunications network.

Introduction
The power density of equipment has been rising and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Equipment
suppliers have tried to overcome their thermal issues in isolation resulting in different solutions being developed. When
different racks from various suppliers are co-located they can have a detrimental effect on each other. The present
document specifies the thermal management requirements to prevent equipment having a detrimental thermal influence
on surrounding equipment.
