When mounting a level 3 into a panel or a rack please observe the following:
15.1 Space Behind the Computer
A complete description of all the different positions and ways a level 3 could be mounted
into a panel, is of course not possible. By mounting in general it is very important that the
back of the PC is given a minimum amount of space as the PC produces heat. From the
technical specifications you will know that the level 3 ambient temperature is specified.
This temperature may not be exceeded.
If you have a chance of providing a natural airflow through the inside area of the panel it
will help you to keep the internal temperature down. If you want an even better airflow you
may consider to mount a fan improving the natural airflow.
If you install additional equipment that generates heat inside the panel please observe the
total accumulation of heat as it may then demand additional space to keep internal tempera-
ture down. It is always worth while to care about the temperature even if it is not near the
critical point as electronics in general will live longer if not stressed by high temperatures.
When mounting please also observe the following:
* Make sure that the surface of your panel is uniform and even
* Screw torque tightening: Max 0.08 kpm
* Make sure that there is electrical connection between all the screws in the PC front and
your panel
