4.3 Placement guidelines

• Place the E-4 unit where it is protected from heat and allowed
adequate ventilation.
• Place the E-4 unit away from direct heat sources, such as heat-
ing vents and radiators.
• Make sure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and
above the unit. Allow six inches on all sides.
Installer's Note: Do not allow the chassis to exceed the
maximum operating temperature of 50˚ C (122˚ F). Be aware
of conditions in an enclosed rack that may increase the tem-
perature above room-ambient conditions.

4.4 Shelf mounting the E-4 unit

The E-4 unit is ideal for shelf mounting. The included accessory
kit contains four rubber feet for the bottom of the E-4 chassis.
The rubber feet will protect the surface on which the E-4 unit is
installed and help prevent movement of the E-4 unit. Be sure to
follow the "Placement Guidelines" previously described when
choosing a location for the E-4 unit.
