●
not exceed 40ºC (104ºF)
Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
●
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight.
●
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
●
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
●
Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service
●
personnel have access to the equipment.

●
intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.
Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
●
component heat dissipation specifications.
Make sure that your power supplies meet the site DC power or AC power requirements of all
