Hi. I have a Meanwell RS-35-5 power supply that I want to use in a project as it has a nice, high 7A output. The enclosure has a metal cage and the top and one side has a lot of circular holes punched out. I am unsure whether these holes are for ventilation or to reduce weight. The data sheet and docs are silent on this point.

Can I safely enclose it in a box and what allowance for ventilation should I make?
