Dialogic Media Gateway - Cooling Requirements for Dialogic DMG1000 Media Gateway Series and Dialogic DMG2000 Media Gateway Series

Question

When using Dialogic 1000 Media Gateway Series (DMG1000 Gateways) or Dialogic 2000 Media Gateway Series (DMG2000 Gateways) in a rack enclosure, network administrators may need to know how to plan for their cooling requirements 

Information

The following information was arrived upon as a result of calculating the BTUs per hour rating of a Dialogic Media Gateway using the following formula:

Watts * 3.1413  

The watts value was determined via known loads and power supply efficiencies, not the power ratings printed on the power supplies units of the gateways.

Dialogic DMG2120DTIW Media Gateway = 63 BTU/hour

Dialogic DMG1008DNIW & DMG1008LSW Media Gateways = 66 BTU/hour

The lower density DMG2000 Gateways and other models, as well as the lower densities of the 1000 series translate to slightly lesser cooling requirements.
