Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure that your computer provides service with
excellent reliability:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, AC
powered computers must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
• In dry environments, static charges can build up easily. A properly
grounded computer helps to reduce static discharges, which can cause
shock and damage electronic components.
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See
Requirements on page 20
passages to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature of 0...50° C (32...113° F). Consider a user-supplied fan,
heat exchanger, or air conditioner for heat from other devices in the
enclosure.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
IMPORTANT
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed 10...90% and must
avoid condensation.
• The enclosure or cover must always remain in place during operation.
The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the computer
and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that can interfere with other
equipment.

for further information. Never allow air
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure,
especially when air does not circulate.
The computer can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life
span of the computer is shortened if you continuously operate it at
its highest rated temperature, which includes the touch screen and
LCD panel.
