IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it is recommended
that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some
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.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack or panel hardware installed, refer to

Each adapter kit includes four adapters.
To secure the device to a rack, do the following:
1. Secure the mounting adapters to both sides of the chassis.
NOTE
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up
to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.
