The following guidelines should be observed when installing.

a). Do not exceed the operating temperature of 0ο C to 40ο C. b). Do not block power supply vents or restrict airflow.

c). Mechanical loading of the rack should be considered to prevent instability and possible tipping over.

d). Tighten all connectors securely and provide adequate strain relief for all cables.
