Installation
Observe the following precautions to help prevent shutdowns, equipment failures, and injuries:
• Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air circulation and that the
room temperature does NOT exceed 40˚C (104˚F).
• Allow 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space to the front and back of the device.
• Do NOT place the device in an equipment rack frame that blocks the air vents on the sides of the
chassis. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides.
• Before installation, please correct these hazardous conditions: moist or wet floors, leaks,
ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.
