This unit is not very heavy, but total rack loading must be considered. Also, do not rest any unsupported equipment on your DTV701. Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Failure to secure the front brackets may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. Desktop To set up the DTV701 in a desktop environment, place the chassis on a flat sur- Installation face where it will not be subject to spills or impacts.
