2.3 Installing the BA42B System
After you unpack the system, move the BA42B Enclosure to the location from
which it will operate. Place the enclosure so that it satisfies the following
space requirements:

enclosure for ventilation.
• Allow 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) of clearance in the back of the
enclosure for the connection of cables.
• Allow 20 cm (approximately 8 inches) of clearance in the front of the
enclosure so that you can reach the removable media devices, depending on
the system configuration.
