12 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channelled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack-unit
of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of
ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack
space.
4. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
