If your enclosure has doors, they need to be of a type that allows at
least 30% airflow through the enclosure (front and back).
Leave a 10.2 cm (4 in.) minimum clearance on all vented sides of the
computer to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
Do not install your computer in an enclosure that does not allow airflow.
This restricts the airflow and impacts your computer's performance,
possibly causing it to overheat.
If your computer is installed in a corner, on a desk, or under a desk,
leave at least 5.1 cm (2 in.) clearance from the back of the computer
to the wall to permit the airflow required for proper ventilation.
