Mounting

If the modem is to be mounted in a rack, ensure that there is adequate clearance for ventilation,
particularly at the sides. In rack system where there is high heat dissipation, forced air-cooling
must be provided by top or bottom mounted fans or blowers. Under no circumstance should the
highest internal rack temperature be allowed to exceed 50 C (122 F).

Chapter 2. INSTALLATION

Do not use any cutting tool that will extend more than 1 inch into
the container. This can cause damage to the modem.
