freestanding on its runner feet or mounted into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

ovens, and air-conditioning units.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted.
Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch of clearance.
The air is as free of dust as possible.
