2.3 Installing the Equipment
2.3.1

Fixing

The Alteia is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing
brackets suitable for a standard 19 inch rack. When installed in a rack, it
should be secured using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves
must be used to reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it is firmly and
safely located and it has an adequate flow of free-air.
A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface
where it is unlikely to be knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
2.3.2

Ventilation

Openings in the Covers

Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These ensure reliable
operation of the product and protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered.
Air is drawn out of the
interior by a fan.

Care in Positioning

1. The fan contained within this unit is not fitted with a dust/insect filter. Pay attention to the
environment in which it is to be used.
2. Do not install units so that the air intake of one aligns with the outlet on another. Provide baffles and
adequate spacing.
The Alteia should never be placed near or over a radiator or other source of
heat. It should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a rack unless
proper ventilation is provided and the instructions have been adhered to.
Allow at least 50 mm free air space at each side of the equipment to
ensure adequate cooling. Units in racks can be stacked with a 1U
ventilation panel between. Racks containing stacked equipment may need
additional air handling to keep the operating ambient temperature within
specified limits.

Protection from Moisture

Do not install this equipment in areas of high humidity or where there is a
danger of water ingress.
