access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or
other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Setting the Chassis on a Desktop

The location of the chassis is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment placed too
close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and
shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. The following information will help you to plan
the location of the chassis:
• Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.
• Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that
electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequate ventilation.
