Space and Cooling Requirements
The ProMAX Platform Studio is designed to run in an office environment on a desk or table. Make sure
that the area you place it is clean, cool and vibration free. Make sure nothing blocks any of the openings
in the front and back panels and case of the Platform as air needs to flow freely through these areas.
ProMAX Platform Studio must be kept cool and dry in an operating environment of between 5C/41F –
22C/75F.
Loading the Drives
With the drive bays fully loaded the ProMAX Platform Studio can weigh as much as 55lbs. It is important
that before you load the drives, the Platform Studio is located on a flat, level, sturdy and stable surface
that is capable of supporting its weight.
