of clutter and well ventilated.
•
Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold
the RMX, ensuring that it is near a grounded power outlet.

them. Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a

Always keep the rack's trays and board's closed when not
servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
