Kongsberg Simrad EK80 Installation Manual page 77

Note
In order to allow for future maintenance, we recommend to mount the unit with its
cables and connectors available for easy access.
3 Make sure that the chosen location meets the installation requirements.
4 Provide ample space around the computer.
You must be able to reach and use the front and rear mounted connectors and on/off
switches. It is also important that you allow for easy access to all the cables, and
enough space for inspection, maintenance and parts replacement. If relevant, make
sure that the space allows you to open the computer for unobstructed access to
its internal parts.
Note
Make sure that you can access both the rear and front side of the computer after it
has been installed.
