1. Rack Mount Adapter 2. Screw
3. Insert the rack mount adapter and device assembly into the rack.
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channelled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack-unit
of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of
ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack
space.
4. Secure the adapter to the rack using the supplied hardware.
