AIR FLOW
The Proficient M40 is designed to run cool under most normal operating conditions. However, closed spaces such as equipment
cabinets and racks can get hot with the heat generated by microprocessors and motors in various devices. Providing proper ven-
tilation for good air flow will help keep the temperature down and protect not only the M40 but all system components and help
preserve their longevity.
When installing the M40 a few easy steps should be taken to assure proper air flow:
1. Never block the vent holes on the top or bottom of the M40.
2. Never remove the feet on the bottom of the M40.
3. Leave at least 2 inches above and 1 inch on each side of the M40 for free air flow.
4. Whenever possible, provide vent holes in the shelf under the M40 to increase air flow into the bottom of the unit.
5. Leave the back of the cabinet as open as possible for good air circulation.
6. Place other system components on separate shelves.
7. Install fans in cabinets and racks when equipment is generating high heat levels.
