When selecting a suitable working location, please consider :

Ventilation
Temperature
Dust and dirt
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference.
Security

The selected location should provide at least six inches of open
space around the Disk Array cabinet for proper air flow.

Your Disk Array functions best at normal room temperature. Choose
a location free from extreme heat or cold.

Your Disk Array should be used in a clean environment that is free
from airborne contaminants such as dust, dirt, and smoke. Excessive
moisture or oil particles in the air can also hinder your system’s
performance.

To reduce the possibility of data errors caused by electromagnetic
interference, locate your Disk Array at least five feet away from
electrical appliances and equipment that generates magnetic
fields.
