Note: Both the AdderView CATx and its power supply generate heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot circulate

to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose surface temperature exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade.

Rack brackets

The two supplied brackets (plus four screws), allow the AdderView CATx unit to be secured within a standard 1U rack slot.
