CAUTION
Rackmount Installation: When installing this device in an instrument rack, the following factors must be accounted for.
Enclosed Racks: Enclosed racks must provide adequate ventilation. Make certain that the rack is not overly crowded and note that each unit
in the rack generates its own heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to circulate cooling air.
When mounting the unit in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top of the rack, note that excessive heat generated by devices at the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward and into the ventilation slots of units located at the top. Provide adequate ventilation for equipment installed at the bottom of the rack.
The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room ambient. When installing the unit, do not compromise the amount of air flow required for safe operation. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is 113°F (45°C). Consider the maximum rated ambient.
Keep the installation stable by avoiding uneven loading.
Open Racks: Make certain that the rack frame does not block the ventilation slots on the instrument cover. If the device is installed on sliders, check the unit when seated all the way into the rack to make certain that ventilation slots are not blocked.
CAUTION
Ventilation: Slots in the instrument cover are provided to allow ventilation for heat dissipation. For safe, reliable operation, these openings must not be covered or blocked.
