Precautions when
rackmounting
This product is designed to function in environments with a
temperature of 0 to 40°C. If you install this product together
with multiple units of the same device or other devices in a
standard EIA rack, the heat produced by the devices may
raise the ambient temperature inside the rack enclosure to
the point where performance is affected. To ensure that the
heat produced by this product can be dissipated
appropriately, please ensure the following conditions when
rackmounting it.
• When mounting the unit in a rack with devices such as
power amplifiers that generate a significant amount of
heat, leave at least 1U of unused space between the unit
and the other device.
Additionally, install a ventilation panel in this unused
space or leave it open to ensure adequate cooling.
• To ensure sufficient airflow, leave the back of the rack
open and position it at least 10 centimeters from walls or
other surfaces.
If the back of the rack cannot be left open, install a
commercially available fan or similar ventilating option to
secure sufficient airflow.
If you install a fan kit, there may be cases in which closing
the back of the rack will produce a greater cooling effect.
Refer to the documentation included with the rack and/or
fan unit details.

Recessed Installation

If you want to recess the front panel surface of the device
from the front edge of the rack, you can adjust the position
of the rack mount brackets to recess the device by 50mm,
as shown in the illustration below.
NOTE
When you install the brackets, use the same screws that you just
removed.
