Multiple stacking your Console Server

Caution

When stacking your unit on a desk we recommend that you stack no more than three units high in a 0 to 40 degrees centigrade environment.This precaution ensures that you keep within the maximum operating temperatures of the units.

When desk mounting multiple Console Server units, make sure you fit the rubber feet to all units before stacking to assist ventilation.

Caution	When mounting several Console Server units in a 19” rack, you must not stack more
	than 3 units without leaving an air gap between them.

Caution	Observe maximum ambient operating temperatures within a rack; you may have to
	use forced air cooling.
