6  Precautions 

Before connecting to external devices, follow the precautions below. 

6.1  Installation 

When installing the FDX, please observe the following precautions. 

 

●  Do not block vent holes. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the 

FDX 1.18 in. (30 mm) or more. 

●  When the FDX needs to be mounted in an EIA rack, or an enclosed space, ensure that sufficient 

ventilation or cooling is provided and that the ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C / 104°F. If 

inadequately vented, the product’s service life, operation and reliability may be affected. 

 

 

Attaching rack mounting brackets 

1.  Remove four M5 screws from one side of the unit. Retain these screws for step 2. 

2.  Attach one bracket to the side of the unit using the screws removed in step 1. 

3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the unit.
