Getting started
Ventilation
CAUTION.
Observe the following precautions to maintain proper ventilation:
Do not block any cooling vents.
Do not position any devices adjacent to the instrument that force air (heated or
unheated) into or onto the instrument’s surfaces or cooling vents. This additional
air
fl
ow could compromise accuracy performance.
When rack mounting the instrument, ensure there is adequate air
fl
ow around the
instrument rear and sides to ensure proper cooling. Adequate air
fl
ow enables air
temperatures within approximately one inch of the instrument surfaces to remain
within speci
fi
ed limits under all operating conditions.
