Power: Ensure that the site’s AC power is stable and within the rated voltage of the internal power supply. Ensure that a
reliable earthing path is maintained. This unit is intended to be connected to earth ground. If the site’s AC power is likely
to have spikes or dips, use power line conditioning or an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS). Do not overload the circuit.
Ventilation: Ensure that the location is well ventilated. Do not obstruct the cooling vents or fans.
Temperature: Observe the unit’s ambient temperature specifications when choosing a location for the unit. Extremes of
heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may cause the unit to fail. Do not install this unit on top of
other hot equipment.
Moisture: Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Moisture can damage internal components. Do not install this unit
near sources of water.
Rack Mount: Carefully load the rack so that it remains stable and unlikely to tip over. The unit is also suitable for desktop
installation.
