Therefore, choose a site that conforms to the requirements in the following sections.
3.1.1

General Considerations

Observe the following considerations when selecting a location to install the DSN-5000 series
primary array.
The location should be fairly cool and dry for the acceptable temperature and humidity
ranges.
The location should be free of strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors),
vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight.
The location must provide sufficient airflow to the front and back of the DSN-5000 series
primary array for correct cooling. Ventilation must be sufficient to exhaust heat from
the rear of the equipment.
The location should offer a power outlet within six feet (1.82 meters) of the DSN-5000
series primary array.
The location should allow for at least six inches (152.3 mm) of space at the front and
back of the DSN-5000 series primary array for ventilation.
Do not place the DSN-5000 series primary array next to, on top off, or below any device
that generates a significant amount of heat or will block the fee flow of air through the
DSN-5000 series primary array ventilation slots.
