Choosing a Location
Be sure that the drive is mounted in a location protected against the following conditions:
• Extreme cold and heat. Use only within the ambient temperature range:
Open Chassis: +14 to 113
°
F (-10 to 45
°
C)
• Direct sunlight (not for use outdoors)
• Rain, moisture
• High humidity
• Oil sprays, splashes
• Salt spray
• Dust or metallic particles in the air
• Corrosive gases (e.g. sulfurized gas or liquids)
• Radioactive substances
• Combustibles (e.g. thinner, solvents, etc.)
• Physical shock, vibration
• Magnetic noise (e.g. welding machines, power devices, etc.)
WA R N I N G
•When preparing to mount the IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 drive, lift it by its base. Never lift it by
the front cover.
•Mount the drive on nonflammable material.
•The IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 drive generates heat. For the most effective cooling possible,
mount it vertically. For more details, refer to the “IMPULSE•VG+ Series 3 Dimensions/
Heat Loss—Open Chassis” in this chapter.
•When mounting units in an enclosure, install a fan or other cooling device to keep the
enclosure temperature below 113°F (45
°
C).
Failure to observe these Warnings may result in equipment damage.
